Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ҉ has the Unicode code point U+0489. 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+0489 to binary:
00000100 10001001
. 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:
11010010 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+0489 represents the COMBINING CYRILLIC MILLIONS SIGN. This symbol is primarily used in digital text to denote the millions place value in a number within the Cyrillic script, which is predominantly used in languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. It is typically combined with other numerals or characters to convey a complete numerical figure or unit. The COMBINING CYRILLIC MILLIONS SIGN holds no cultural significance on its own but serves a vital role in accurately representing large numbers within the Cyrillic language system. In technical contexts, this character helps maintain accuracy and clarity in digital text by providing a clear distinction between the millions place and other numerical values.
