Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ҳ has the Unicode code point U+04B2. 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+04B2 to binary:
00000100 10110010
. 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 10110010

Description
U+04B2, the Cyrillic Capital Letter Ha with Descender, plays a significant role in digital texts of various Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic script, such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. This character is a capital version of the Cyrillic letter "Х" (Ha) and features an additional descending stroke, which distinguishes it from the standard Ha character (U+0429). The presence of this descender contributes to the unique aesthetic and style of the Cyrillic script. In linguistic terms, the Cyrillic Capital Letter Ha with Descender represents the voiceless glottal fricative sound /h/, making it an essential component for accurate phonetic transcription in these languages. Its inclusion in digital texts is crucial for proper communication and understanding among speakers of languages that utilize the Cyrillic script, as it preserves cultural and linguistic nuances.
