Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ӣ has the Unicode code point U+04E2. 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+04E2 to binary:
00000100 11100010
. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+04E2 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter I with Macron (Ḳ), a letter used in several languages that utilize the Cyrillic script, such as Russian and Ukrainian. In digital text, this character serves its traditional role of representing the "I" sound but is marked by the presence of a macron, a horizontal line placed above the letter to indicate a long vowel sound or syllable division. This distinctive feature distinguishes it from other Cyrillic capital letters that do not possess this marking. The Cyrillic script, developed in the 9th century AD, is widely used across Eastern Europe and parts of Asia, and plays a significant role in numerous languages and cultures, reflecting their linguistic and cultural histories. U+04E2, as part of this script, contributes to maintaining these traditions and facilitating communication among speakers of Cyrillic-based languages in the digital age.
