Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ҏ has the Unicode code point U+048E. 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+048E to binary:
00000100 10001110. 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+048E, Cyrillic Capital Letter ER with Tick (ᄅ), is a specialized letter within the Cyrillic script that plays a unique role in digital text. This character has its origins in the Russian language and serves as an orthographic marker to indicate the long vowel /ər/ in certain phonetic contexts. In linguistic terms, it acts as an abbreviation for the combination of two sounds: the glottal stop [ʔ] followed by a voiced palatal approximant [j]. This letter is not widely used in everyday digital communication and literature, but it holds significant importance in specific fields like Russian linguistics, transliteration, and historical documents. The Cyrillic Capital Letter ER with Tick contributes to the accuracy of textual transcriptions and maintains cultural integrity by preserving the nuances of the Russian language's phonetic features.
