Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ҅ has the Unicode code point U+0485. 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+0485 to binary:
00000100 10000101
. 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+0485, COMBINING CYRILLIC DASIA PNEUMATA, is a typographical element used in digital text to indicate the pronunciation of Cyrillic characters. It represents a diacritical mark that modifies the sound of a preceding Cyrillic letter by lengthening or altering it. The COMBINING CYRILLIC DASIA PNEUMATA character is primarily used in the Russian language and other Slavic languages that employ the Cyrillic script. Its role is to provide phonetic guidance for speakers of these languages, ensuring accurate pronunciation when reading text. In digital typography, it is typically applied as a diacritical mark placed above or below certain Cyrillic characters, such as A, B, G, D, E, K, M, N, O, P, R, S, T, U, and F. Although not widely used in everyday text, the COMBINING CYRILLIC DASIA PNEUMATA is essential for linguistic research, transcription of dialects, and teaching languages with complex pronunciation rules. Its accuracy and proper application are crucial to maintaining cultural, linguistic, and technical integrity within digital texts that use the Cyrillic script.
