Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character А has the Unicode code point U+0410. 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+0410 to binary:
00000100 00010000. 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+0410 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter A (А). This character is commonly used in various languages that utilize the Cyrillic script, such as Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and Macedonian. In digital text, it serves as a fundamental building block for words and sentences, enabling effective communication and information exchange among speakers of these languages. The Cyrillic script has its roots in the 9th century AD, when it was developed by the Slavs under the influence of the Byzantine Empire. Today, it is widely used across Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and parts of Asia, reflecting a rich cultural and linguistic heritage. In typography, the Cyrillic Capital Letter A has a distinct visual appearance with its two vertical strokes and rounded top and bottom, distinguishing it from similar Latin characters such as A or A. The character's design and usage play an important role in preserving the identity of the languages that use the Cyrillic script.
