Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ш has the Unicode code point U+0428. 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+0428 to binary:
00000100 00101000. 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
U+0428 is the Unicode code point for Cyrillic Capital Letter Sha (Ш), a letter commonly used in the Russian language and other Slavic languages that utilize the Cyrillic alphabet. This character holds an essential role in digital text, as it enables accurate representation of these languages online, in applications, and on various platforms. The Cyrillic script is widely used in many countries, including Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. It originated in the 9th century among East Slavs and has since evolved to accommodate numerous regional variations and dialects. U+0428 contributes significantly to the rich linguistic heritage of these regions by facilitating the use of their distinct alphabet in digital environments, fostering communication and preserving cultural identity.
