Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ҍ has the Unicode code point U+048C. 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+048C to binary:
00000100 10001100. 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+048C represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Semisoft Sign (CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER SEMISOFT SIGN). This character is primarily used in digital text for its role within the Russian language. Specifically, it serves as a distinct letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, used to represent a unique phoneme not found in the English or other Latin-based alphabets. The Semisoft Sign is part of the broader Cyrillic script, which has a rich history and is prevalent in various Eastern European languages, including Russian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Serbian, and many others. As a result, this character plays a vital role in enabling accurate and culturally appropriate digital communication within these language communities. The technical properties of U+048C are essential for ensuring proper text rendering, as it distinguishes between different Cyrillic characters that might otherwise appear visually similar due to shared visual features. Overall, the Unicode character U+048C is a critical component in supporting linguistic diversity and enabling accurate digital communication within languages that utilize the Cyrillic script.
