Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Љ has the Unicode code point U+0409. 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+0409 to binary:
00000100 00001001. 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:
11010000 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+0409, known as the Cyrillic Capital Letter Lje (Л), is an essential element in digital text representation of languages using the Cyrillic script, primarily Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, and other Slavic languages. This uppercase letter serves a significant role in spelling and pronunciation rules, as it represents both a consonant and vowel sound, depending on its position within a word or syllable. It is part of the extended Cyrillic block introduced with Unicode version 1.0 in October 1991. The Lje character plays a crucial role in various cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, as it helps maintain accuracy, readability, and preservation of meaning in written communication within these languages.
