Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ҽ has the Unicode code point U+04BC. 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+04BC to binary:
00000100 10111100. 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+04BC represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Abkhazian Che (А). In digital text, this character is used to represent a distinct letter in the Abkhaz language, which is spoken primarily in the Caucasus region by the Abkhaz people. Abkhazian Che is an essential part of the Abkhaz alphabet, which was based on the Georgian script before being adapted into Cyrillic in the 1930s. This adaptation played a vital role in shaping the modern Abkhaz language and its literature. Despite the technical context of U+04BC as a specific Unicode character, it holds significant cultural and linguistic importance for the Abkhaz people and their heritage.
