Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ӆ has the Unicode code point U+04C5. 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+04C5 to binary:
00000100 11000101
. 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+04C5 is the Unicode code point for the Cyrillic Capital Letter El with Tail (К), a character used primarily in the Russian language. In digital text, it serves as a fundamental component of the Cyrillic alphabet, which is widely employed across numerous languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Serbian, among others. The "El" symbol represents a palatalized consonant, denoting a specific pronunciation and sound in these languages. It is essential for accurate text representation and communication in cultures where Cyrillic script is predominantly used. U+04C5 has a distinctive visual feature - a small upward tail at the right end of the "E" shape, which distinguishes it from other Cyrillic characters and helps in maintaining clarity and readability in text documents or digital media. As an integral part of the Cyrillic alphabet, U+04C5 plays a significant role in preserving linguistic heritage and cultural identity within these communities.
