Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ӈ has the Unicode code point U+04C7. 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+04C7 to binary:
00000100 11000111
. 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+04C7 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter En with Hook (Э), a unique letter within the Cyrillic script used predominantly in Russian and other Slavic languages. In digital text, this character serves as a key element for accurate representation of these languages, enabling clear communication and preserving linguistic nuances. The En with Hook is part of a larger family of Cyrillic characters that have been widely adopted by millions of speakers across Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. As a vital component of the Russian alphabet, it plays a crucial role in conveying meaning and maintaining cultural identity. Its distinct form with a hook on the top right sets it apart from other Cyrillic letters and contributes to the visual richness and expressiveness of written Slavic languages.
