Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ԝ has the Unicode code point U+051D. 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+051D to binary:
00000101 00011101. 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 character U+051D, known as the Cyrillic Small Letter We (У), is an essential component of the Cyrillic script, which is widely used in various languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Bulgarian. In digital text, this character serves as a fundamental building block for crafting words and sentences. Its typical usage is to represent the voiced palatal stop consonant sound /ʍ/, similar to the English "w" but with a distinct Russian flair. The Cyrillic script is deeply rooted in the rich cultural and linguistic history of Eastern Europe, dating back to its origins in the 9th century when it was adapted from the Greek alphabet by Saints Cyril and Methodius. The Cyrillic Small Letter We plays an integral role in preserving and promoting these diverse languages and their associated cultures. Its precise representation in digital text ensures accurate communication and facilitates a seamless exchange of ideas across the globe.
