Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ӫ has the Unicode code point U+04EA. 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+04EA to binary:
00000100 11101010
. 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 character U+04EA is known as the Cyrillic Capital Letter Barred O with Diaeresis. In digital text, it is primarily used in various Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic script, such as Bulgarian, Macedonian, and Russian. It serves a crucial role in these languages by representing a distinct phoneme or sound, differentiating it from other characters in the alphabet. The diaeresis (also known as an umlaut) above the letter "O" indicates a unique pronunciation, while the barred element is a diacritic that further modifies its sound. Its usage reflects the rich cultural and linguistic history of the regions where these languages are spoken, showcasing their distinctiveness in written form. Overall, U+04EA plays an essential part in accurate communication and representation of these languages, allowing speakers to express themselves authentically through digital media.
