Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ҷ has the Unicode code point U+04B6. 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+04B6 to binary:
00000100 10110110
. 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+04B6, or Cyrillic Capital Letter Che with Descender, is a vital character in the Unicode Standard that represents the Cyrillic script's capital letter "Ч". Primarily used in digital text for representing the Cyrillic alphabet, this character plays an essential role in numerous languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. The unique feature of this letter is its descender - a vertical stroke that extends below the baseline, setting it apart from other similar-looking Cyrillic characters like "C" or "S". This distinctive characteristic can be vital for maintaining the accuracy and comprehensibility of text in these languages, particularly when considering typesetting or digital rendering. As a result, U+04B6 is an indispensable component in preserving cultural and linguistic nuances within the Cyrillic-based languages' written expressions.
