Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ӷ has the Unicode code point U+04F6. 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+04F6 to binary:
00000100 11110110. 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+04F6 is the Unicode code point for "CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER GHE WITH DESCENDER". This character is a vital component of many Slavic languages, including Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. It represents the consonant sound /ɡ/. In these languages, it plays a significant role in written expression, helping to convey nuances of pronunciation and meaning that cannot be captured by Latin or other alphabets. Its descender form gives it a distinct visual appeal, setting it apart from similar Cyrillic letters without a descender like "Г" (U+0413), which lacks the extended bottom part. In digital text, the character is used to maintain linguistic accuracy and cultural integrity when displaying and processing Slavic language content. Its proper usage in typography ensures that text remains clear, legible, and faithful to its original source.
