Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ҄ has the Unicode code point U+0484. 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+0484 to binary:
00000100 10000100
. 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
U+0484 is the Unicode character code for "COMBINING CYRILLIC PALATALIZATION." This character plays a crucial role in the Cyrillic script, which is primarily used for writing several languages, such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. Its primary function is to indicate the palatalization of consonants, transforming them into a palatal sound by modifying adjacent letters. In digital text, this character often accompanies other Unicode characters to ensure accurate representation and pronunciation of words in the Cyrillic script. While not commonly used for non-Cyrillic scripts, U+0484 is an essential part of typography for languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet, contributing to their phonetic accuracy and overall text readability.
