Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ґ has the Unicode code point U+0490. 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+0490 to binary:
00000100 10010000
. 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:
11010010 10010000

Description
The character U+0490, or CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER GHE WITH UPTURN, is a vital component in the Unicode Standard, which facilitates the accurate representation of text across various languages. This specific Cyrillic letter holds great importance in digital text as it is commonly used in several Slavic languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian. The GHE WITH UPTURN is unique due to its upturned tail that distinguishes it from the regular Cyrillic capital letter GHE (U+0433). This distinctive feature aids readers in discerning the correct pronunciation of words and phrases, which can be particularly useful in languages where such nuances play a significant role in meaning. Furthermore, the inclusion of the CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER GHE WITH UPTURN in digital text platforms ensures cultural and linguistic accuracy, contributing to the preservation of these rich traditions.
