Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ԛ has the Unicode code point U+051A. 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+051A to binary:
00000101 00011010. 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 10011010

Description
U+051A is the Unicode code point for Cyrillic Capital Letter Qa, a character used in various Slavic languages, such as Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian, Russian, and Ukrainian. This letter has a significant role in digital text, as it allows for accurate representation of these languages online. The Cyrillic script is widely used in Eastern Europe and Russia, with its origins dating back to the 9th century when it was developed from the Greek alphabet. While it may not be as globally recognized as the Latin or Arabic scripts, the Cyrillic script remains a vital tool for communication and cultural expression in these regions. Its unique characters are essential for maintaining linguistic identity and heritage in the digital age.
