Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ӧ has the Unicode code point U+04E6. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+04E6 to binary:
00000100 11100110
. 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:
11010011 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+04E6, also known as Cyrillic Capital Letter O with Diaeresis, is an essential part of the Cyrillic script, which is used for writing various Slavic languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Ukrainian. This specific character is used to denote the sound 'o' with a distinctive pronunciation that is typically represented by the diaeresis mark (also known as an umlaut). In digital text, U+04E6 serves to maintain accuracy in translating and transcribing these languages, enabling precise communication among speakers of these languages. The use of this character demonstrates respect for linguistic nuances, preserving cultural context and contributing to the integrity of written Slavic languages.
