Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ԧ has the Unicode code point U+0526. 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+0526 to binary:
00000101 00100110
. 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
The Unicode character U+0526 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Shha with Descender (᷄), which is used in various Cyrillic writing systems. In digital text, it serves as a crucial component for accurate transcription and representation of texts in languages that utilize the Cyrillic script, such as Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, and many others. The character's descender – the portion that extends below the baseline – is a distinguishing feature that helps differentiate it from other similar Cyrillic capital letters. This character plays an essential role in preserving and promoting cultural heritage, as well as facilitating effective communication and information exchange within and across different languages and communities that use the Cyrillic script.
