Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ԓ has the Unicode code point U+0512. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+0512 to binary:
00000101 00010010
. 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:

Description
U+0512, the Cyrillic Capital Letter El with Hook, is a unique character in the Unicode Standard. In digital texts, it primarily serves as a representation of the Cyrillic uppercase letter 'Е' (El) with a distinct hook-like extension on its vertical stroke. This special character holds significant importance in various Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic script, such as Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and Macedonian. The Cyrillic Capital Letter El with Hook is an essential element in these languages' orthography, contributing to the accurate spelling and pronunciation of words. The character's distinctive shape distinguishes it from other Cyrillic letters and helps avoid misinterpretations in digital communication, particularly when fonts or encoding systems support a wide range of Unicode characters. Overall, U+0512 serves as an integral component of the Cyrillic alphabet, reflecting the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of Slavic-speaking communities around the world.
