Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Қ has the Unicode code point U+049A. 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+049A to binary:
00000100 10011010. 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:
11010010 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+049A is known as the Cyrillic Capital Letter Ka with Descender (ᴋ). In its typical usage in digital text, it serves as a key component of the Russian language and other Eastern Slavic languages that employ the Cyrillic alphabet. This distinct letter features a unique descending tail extending from the base of the character, setting it apart from other Cyrillic capital letters such as "Ka" (ᴲ) or "Ke" (ᴷ). The presence of the U+049A character in these languages is deeply rooted in their historical and cultural contexts. The Cyrillic script was developed during the 9th century by Slavic missionaries, primarily Saint Cyril and Methodius, to transcribe the liturgical and secular texts of the Eastern Orthodox Church. As a result, the U+049A character has been instrumental in preserving and conveying the rich linguistic heritage of these cultures over the centuries. From a technical perspective, the Unicode standard ensures that digital text using this character can be accurately represented, stored, and transmitted across various platforms and devices, allowing for seamless communication and collaboration among speakers of languages that use the Cyrillic script. The U+049A character's consistent encoding within the Unicode system facilitates interoperability and compatibility in a rapidly globalizing digital world.
