Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ѷ has the Unicode code point U+0476. 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+0476 to binary:
00000100 01110110. 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+0476, Cyrillic Capital Letter Izhitsa with Double Grave Accent, holds a specific significance in digital text, particularly within the realm of the Russian language. This unique character serves as an uppercase version of the Cyrillic letter "И", which is pronounced like the English "ee". The double grave accent, placed above the letter, denotes an elongated sound, distinguishing it from the standard Cyrillic Capital Letter Izhitsa without the accent. Although not commonly used in everyday digital communication, its presence in typography showcases the richness and versatility of the Russian language's written form. The character is vital for maintaining accuracy and conveying intended meaning in texts that require the use of specialized Cyrillic characters or phonetic distinctions.
