Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ӎ has the Unicode code point U+04CD. 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+04CD to binary:
00000100 11001101
. 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
The Unicode character U+04CD represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter EM with Tail (ᄂ). This unique character is primarily used in digital text to represent the Russian letter "Е" (Ye) or its equivalents in other Cyrillic-based languages. In the context of typography and Unicode, U+04CD plays a significant role in preserving cultural and linguistic diversity by enabling accurate representation of these languages on digital platforms. The Cyrillic script is widely used across Eastern Europe and Central Asia, including in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, among other countries. U+04CD, like other Cyrillic characters, contributes to the richness and complexity of these languages, and its accurate depiction is essential for effective communication and preservation of linguistic heritage.
