Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ԭ has the Unicode code point U+052C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+052C to binary:
00000101 00101100. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11010100 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+052C, known as the Cyrillic Capital Letter DCHE, plays a significant role in digital text within the Russian language and other Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic script. This character specifically represents the sound /tʃ/, which is an affricate formed by the simultaneous articulation of a plosive stop and a fricative frictionless continuant. In linguistic terms, DCHE is part of a larger group of letters known as "hard signs" due to their association with hard consonants in the Russian language. These characters are critical for accurate transliteration and representation of text in digital formats, particularly within software that supports Cyrillic script languages. Furthermore, U+052C contributes to the cultural and historical significance of the Cyrillic script, which has been in use since the 9th century and has evolved into various forms across different Slavic countries.
