Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character І has the Unicode code point U+0406. 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+0406 to binary:
00000100 00000110. 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+0406 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Byelorussian-Ukrainian I (Ԡ). This letter is part of the Cyrillic script, which is primarily used in Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, and other Slavic languages. In digital text, it serves as a crucial component for transcribing and translating these languages accurately. The Byelorussian-Ukrainian I (Ԡ) holds significance in both Belarusian and Ukrainian, where it is used to write words with specific phonetic values. This character has historical roots in the Cyrillic script, which originated from the Greek alphabet during the First Bulgarian Empire in the 9th century. Over time, the Cyrillic script has evolved to accommodate various languages and dialects, including Byelorussian and Ukrainian, thus giving rise to unique characters such as U+0406. The presence of this character in digital text is vital for maintaining linguistic integrity and facilitating effective communication within these language communities.
