Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ԡ has the Unicode code point U+0520. 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+0520 to binary:
00000101 00100000
. 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+0520, known as the Cyrillic Capital Letter El with Middle Hook, is a specialized character in Unicode typography, often employed in digital texts to represent an uppercase letter in the Cyrillic script. This particular letter is unique due to its middle hook that distinguishes it from other letters in the alphabet. It has significant cultural and linguistic relevance in Slavic languages, particularly Russian, as a key component of their written language system. The Cyrillic script is widely used across several Eastern European countries and serves as an essential tool for communication, literature, and art within these regions. By accurately representing this letter in digital text, U+0520 ensures the preservation of linguistic integrity and cultural heritage in the online sphere.
