Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character М has the Unicode code point U+041C. 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+041C to binary:
00000100 00011100. 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+041C, the Cyrillic Capital Letter EM (Э), is a critical character within the Cyrillic script, which encompasses several languages including Russian, Bulgarian, and Serbian. As part of the Unicode standard, it enables the accurate representation of these languages in digital text formats, fostering communication and preserving linguistic heritage across diverse platforms and devices. The EM character is pivotal for maintaining cultural integrity, as its unique shape distinguishes the Cyrillic script from other writing systems like Latin or Greek. In technical terms, U+041C enables precise encoding and decoding in text processing applications and contributes to the consistent display of typography across different software and hardware environments. Overall, the Cyrillic Capital Letter EM holds significant value for linguistic preservation, cultural representation, and digital communication.
