Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ѝ has the Unicode code point U+040D. 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+040D to binary:
00000100 00001101
. 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
The Unicode character U+040D, Cyrillic Capital Letter I with Grave (ꙉ), is a letter from the Cyrillic script that is primarily used in Russian typography. This unique character features an acute accent, or grave, on the top left part of the letter I, which distinguishes it from the standard Cyrillic capital I (У+0418). The presence of this accent signifies a change in pronunciation, as the grave indicates that the preceding vowel should be pronounced with a stressed, fronted sound. As an essential component of the Russian language and other Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet, U+040D plays a vital role in digital text communication. This character is widely used in various digital platforms such as websites, documents, and software applications to accurately represent the intended pronunciation and meaning of words in the Russian language and its related dialects.
