Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ђ has the Unicode code point U+0402. 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+0402 to binary:
00000100 00000010
. 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+0402 is the Unicode code point for Cyrillic Capital Letter Dje (Д), a character used in various Slavic languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian. This letter plays an essential role in digital text by representing the phoneme /dʒ/, which corresponds to the English "j" sound. It is part of the Cyrillic script, one of the most widely used writing systems globally, serving over 250 million speakers across numerous languages and dialects. The Cyrillic alphabet originated in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century, making it older than the Latin alphabet. U+0402 contributes to the rich cultural heritage of these Slavic-speaking communities and is vital for accurate translation and communication in digital spaces.
