Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ӗ has the Unicode code point U+04D6. 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+04D6 to binary:
00000100 11010110
. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+04D6 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter IE with Breve (ᲂ). This typographical symbol is primarily used in digital text for representing the initial consonant of a word in languages using the Cyrillic script, such as Russian. In the context of the Russian language, this letter is called "Yery", and it represents a voiced palatal stop. The Breve diacritical mark above the letter indicates that the preceding vowel should be pronounced with a longer duration than usual. This character plays a vital role in maintaining accuracy and clarity in digital text for those who use languages that employ the Cyrillic script. It helps preserve the linguistic and cultural integrity of these languages by providing an accurate representation of their unique sounds and pronunciations.
