Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ӿ has the Unicode code point U+04FE. 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+04FE to binary:
00000100 11111110
. 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:
11010011 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+04FE, known as the Cyrillic Capital Letter HA with Stroke, plays a crucial role in digital typography, particularly within languages that utilize the Cyrillic script. This character is distinct due to its unique addition of a horizontal stroke across the letter, setting it apart from the standard Cyrillic HA character (U+040E). In the context of digital text, U+04FE ensures accurate representation of the original character when encoded in Unicode systems. The Cyrillic script is predominantly used for writing Slavic languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian, among others. As a result, U+04FE serves an essential function in facilitating accurate communication and understanding across these cultures and languages.
