Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ҁ has the Unicode code point U+0480. 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+0480 to binary:
00000100 10000000. 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+0480 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Koppa (ᲂ). In digital text, this character is often used in the Russian language, which is one of the six languages that still utilize the Koppa letter. This letter holds significant cultural and linguistic importance as it was frequently used in Old Church Slavonic and the Middle Russian language. The Koppa is also known for its distinctive appearance, resembling a reversed "n" with an additional vertical stroke through the middle. However, due to historical and practical reasons, the use of the Koppa has become less common in modern Russian, with some typographers considering it obsolete. Nevertheless, U+0480 plays a crucial role in preserving the history and evolution of the Cyrillic script and continues to be recognized by typography enthusiasts and scholars worldwide.
