Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ѡ has the Unicode code point U+0460. 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+0460 to binary:
00000100 01100000. 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+0460 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Omega (CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER OMEGA). In digital text, this character is commonly used in languages that employ the Cyrillic script, such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Serbian. The Cyrillic script is a writing system developed during the First Bulgarian Empire around 890 AD, and it has since become a crucial part of Slavic, Baltic, and various other Eastern European cultures' linguistic heritage. U+0460 serves as the uppercase variant of the letter Omega (О), which holds no particular linguistic significance but is commonly employed in proper nouns, acronyms, and initialisms in these languages. It is also occasionally used in typography and design for its aesthetic qualities or to represent the Greek equivalent of "O".
