Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ѿ has the Unicode code point U+047E. 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+047E to binary:
00000100 01111110
. 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+047E, Cyrillic Capital Letter Ot (О), is a crucial element in the Russian and other Cyrillic-based languages. It primarily serves as a letter of the alphabet within these linguistic systems, used for both written and digital communication. As an uppercase version of the Cyrillic script's 10th letter, its role is significant in phonetics and grammar of these languages. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical context, it plays a pivotal role in encoding and decoding text from these language systems. Its presence in digital text underlines the importance of Unicode, which standardizes characters across various programming platforms to ensure accurate representation and prevent miscommunication. Although often overshadowed by more familiar alphabets, its vital function within the Cyrillic script is indispensable for maintaining clarity and fidelity in Russian and related language communications.
