Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ҋ has the Unicode code point U+048A. 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+048A to binary:
00000100 10001010. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+048A, or CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER SHORT I WITH TAIL, plays a significant role in digital text as it is an essential component of the Cyrillic script, predominantly used in Russian and other Slavic languages. It serves to represent the /ʃ/ sound, which is similar to the English "sh" sound. This character's tail distinguishes it from other Cyrillic capital letters, such as CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER SHORT I (U+0489), which lacks this distinctive feature. In a digital context, U+048A is vital for preserving the linguistic integrity and accuracy of texts in languages that employ the Cyrillic script, thereby facilitating effective communication and understanding among speakers of these languages.
