Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ԛ has the Unicode code point U+051B. 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+051B to binary:
00000101 00011011. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+051B, Cyrillic Small Letter Qa (Ғ), is a unique letter within the Cyrillic script used primarily in various Slavic languages, such as Bashkir and Tatar. This distinctive character represents the voiced uvular plosive sound /ɡ/. In digital text, U+051B is often employed to maintain linguistic accuracy, cultural authenticity, and proper word pronunciation in Cyrillic-based languages. The usage of this character is particularly significant for speakers of Bashkir, a Turkic language predominantly spoken in the Republic of Bashkortostan in Russia, as well as by Tatar communities in Tatarstan, Russia, and other neighboring regions. Its inclusion in digital text helps preserve linguistic diversity and fosters better communication among these language groups.
