Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Һ has the Unicode code point U+04BA. 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+04BA to binary:
00000100 10111010
. 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:
11010010 10111010

Description
U+04BA is a character in the Cyrillic script known as CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER SHHA. It plays an essential role in digital text, especially in languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet, such as Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Serbian. The character represents the phoneme /ʃ/, which is a voiced postalveolar fricative sound commonly found in these languages. In terms of its cultural, linguistic, and technical context, CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER SHHA is integral to the correct transcription and translation of words and phrases in these languages. It is crucial for accurate communication and understanding of texts across different regions where these languages are spoken. The Cyrillic script has a rich history dating back to the 9th century, with U+04BA being one of its vital components, reflecting the evolution and diversity of the Slavic languages over time.
