Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ҟ has the Unicode code point U+049E. 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+049E to binary:
00000100 10011110. 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
U+049E is a typographical character in the Unicode standard, specifically designated as CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER KA WITH STROKE. In digital text, it is commonly used to represent the initial letter of the Russian language and other East Slavic languages such as Ukrainian and Belarusian. The Cyrillic script originated in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century and has since been adapted for various languages across Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The 'Ka with stroke' variant is a unique form of the letter "K" used in Russian, where the vertical stroke through the character is often employed to indicate that it forms the beginning of the word or phrase. While this usage may be less common in more casual or handwritten scripts, its presence in digital text ensures accuracy and consistency in communication across different platforms. As a crucial element of the Cyrillic script, U+049E plays a vital role in preserving linguistic heritage and facilitating cross-cultural understanding and communication.
