Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ѳ has the Unicode code point U+0472. 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+0472 to binary:
00000100 01110010. 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
U+0472 is the Unicode code point for Cyrillic Capital Letter Fita, a letter used in several East Slavic languages such as Ukrainian and Belarusian. In these languages, it represents a voiced palatal stop consonant, which is pronounced with the tongue positioned near the hard palate and airflow through the middle of the tongue. This letter is part of the Cyrillic script, which was created during the 9th century and has since been adopted by various Slavic nations. Fita's role in digital text is to accurately represent the sound and meaning of this consonant when used in words or sentences within these languages. While not as widely known as other Cyrillic letters like A, B, or C, it remains an essential character for accurate communication and representation of these specific Slavic languages' phonetic and grammatical structures.
