Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character С has the Unicode code point U+0421. 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+0421 to binary:
00000100 00100001. 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+0421 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Es, also known as "Е" (capital Ezh). In digital text, this letter is commonly used in languages that employ the Cyrillic script, such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. Its cultural significance lies in its usage within various Eastern European languages, playing a vital role in their grammar and syntax. The U+0421 character does not have any technical or unique features, as it follows the standard properties of other Cyrillic capital letters. In terms of linguistic context, the Es character is utilized to represent a voiced postalveolar fricative sound, which can be phonetically transcribed as [ʒ], making it an essential element for accurate pronunciation and understanding in these languages.
