Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Р has the Unicode code point U+0420. 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+0420 to binary:
00000100 00100000
. 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+0420, Cyrillic Capital Letter Er (Ắ), is a crucial component of the Cyrillic script, widely used in various languages, including Russian, Bulgarian, and Ukrainian. It primarily serves as a character in digital text, representing the sound /ɛr/ at the beginning or middle of words. In linguistic contexts, it plays an essential role in phonetics, as it represents one of the key consonant sounds in these languages. The Cyrillic script itself has historical and cultural significance, with roots dating back to the 9th century when it was developed by the Slavic people under the Byzantine Empire's influence. Today, U+0420 is used across numerous digital platforms and software applications that support the Cyrillic alphabet, facilitating communication and information exchange in languages that employ this script.
