Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ү has the Unicode code point U+04AE. 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+04AE to binary:
00000100 10101110. 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 10101110

Description
The character U+04AE is known as the Cyrillic Capital Letter Straight U (У) in Unicode typography. It plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within languages that employ the Cyrillic script, such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Serbian. As one of the 33 Cyrillic capital letters, it is used to represent the voiceless palatal stop consonant sound /ʉ/. This letter is unique in that it doesn't possess a lowercase counterpart due to its straight form, unlike many other Cyrillic characters. The Straight U has cultural and linguistic significance as it contributes to the distinctive orthography of these languages. In technical contexts, it helps facilitate accurate translations and text rendering across digital platforms for users who speak these languages.
