Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ӊ has the Unicode code point U+04C9. 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+04C9 to binary:
00000100 11001001
. 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:
11010011 10001001

Description
U+04C9, the Cyrillic Capital Letter En with Tail (Э), is a significant character within the Unicode standard used in digital text. This specific letter is predominantly utilized in the Russian language and other Slavic languages that employ the Cyrillic script. Its tail distinguishes it from the regular capital letter "En" (У) and serves a crucial role in phonetics, as it represents the consonant sound /ɛn/ or /ən/. The character "Э" is an integral part of these languages' linguistic structures, contributing to their cultural identity and expression. In technical contexts, the Cyrillic Capital Letter En with Tail plays a pivotal role in encoding and processing text data across various digital platforms, ensuring proper display and interpretation of the characters. As part of the Unicode standard, it fosters global communication and information exchange by facilitating the accurate representation of these languages online.
