Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ѭ has the Unicode code point U+046C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
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 thexare 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+046C to binary:
00000100 01101100. 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:
11010001 10101100

Description
U+046C, the Cyrillic Capital Letter Iotified Big Yus, is a vital character in the Unicode Standard, specifically in the realm of digital text encoding for languages that use the Cyrillic script. This particular character finds its unique role in representing the iotified variant of the Cyrillic capital letter 'Ya' (Большая Цылированная Йица). Iotification is a diacritical marking, which denotes the palatalization of the consonant, indicating a specific pronunciation in the Russian and other Slavic languages. In digital text communication, it ensures accurate transmission and interpretation of the intended message, preserving linguistic integrity and facilitating seamless communication among speakers of these languages. The Cyrillic script has a long and rich cultural history, being used for over 10 centuries, dating back to its inception during the reign of Saints Cyril and Methodius. It remains an essential tool in representing the diverse array of Slavic languages, including Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and many others, showcasing the robustness and adaptability of Unicode in encoding different writing systems across the globe.
