Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Х has the Unicode code point U+0425. 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+0425 to binary:
00000100 00100101. 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+0425, or the Cyrillic Capital Letter Ha (Х), is a significant character in the Unicode Standard used in digital texts. It represents the "Ha" letter in the Cyrillic alphabet, which is widely utilized for various languages including Russian, Ukrainian, and Serbian. The Ha character plays an essential role in these languages, as it carries phonological and orthographic functions. Historically, the Cyrillic script has been used since the 9th century, with its origins rooted in the First Bulgarian Empire. The Ha letter specifically contributes to the pronunciation of words by indicating a voiceless glottal fricative sound, similar to the English "h" sound. In modern digital text, the Cyrillic Capital Letter Ha (Х) is used for proper nouns, like names and places, as well as in capitalization rules for specific languages. As a result, U+0425 holds immense cultural, linguistic, and technical significance in the vast world of digital communication.
