Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ѓ has the Unicode code point U+0403. 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+0403 to binary:
00000100 00000011
. 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+0403 is the Unicode character for Cyrillic Capital Letter Gje (Г). It is typically used in digital texts to represent the Russian phoneme /ɡjə/, which is an affricate made by simultaneously producing a voiced postalveolar stop and a voiced palatal glide. This letter holds significant importance in Russian and other Cyrillic-based languages, as it helps accurately convey various linguistic nuances and contribute to the richness of the language's vocabulary. The Gje is part of the extended Cyrillic script that has been historically used for writing in various Slavic, Baltic, and Caucasian languages. In typography and digital text, the accurate representation of this character is crucial for maintaining linguistic integrity and avoiding miscommunication or misunderstandings among speakers of these languages.
