Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Д has the Unicode code point U+0414. 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+0414 to binary:
00000100 00010100
. 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:
11010000 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+0414 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter DE (Д), a letter widely used in the Russian and other Slavic languages. This character is an essential part of digital text as it enables communication in these languages, which are spoken by millions of people across Eastern Europe and Russia. The Cyrillic script has historical significance, with its origins tracing back to the 9th century when it was developed during the Christianization of Slavs. In terms of linguistic features, the Cyrillic letter DE is a palatal consonant, and it holds a unique position in the alphabet as it forms the basis for various conjugations and declensions in Russian grammar. As an expert in Unicode and typography, I emphasize the importance of accurate representation and encoding of such characters to ensure clear communication and respect cultural diversity in digital text.
