Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ԉ has the Unicode code point U+0509. 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+0509 to binary:
00000101 00001001
. 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+0509, known as Cyrillic Small Letter Komi Lje, is a vital component of the Komi language's written form. This unique character plays a significant role in digital text by enabling the accurate representation and communication of ideas and information in the Komi language. As part of the Cyrillic script, U+0509 has its roots in the 1930s when it was adapted from the Latin alphabet to better represent the phonetic characteristics of the Komi language. This adaptation allowed for a more precise representation of the language's unique sounds and nuances, which were previously difficult to convey using the Latin script. Today, U+0509 remains an essential element in preserving and promoting the linguistic identity of the Komi people, as well as facilitating communication within and between different communities that speak this rare language.
