Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character У has the Unicode code point U+0423. 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+0423 to binary:
00000100 00100011. 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+0423 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter U (У), a letter in the modern Russian alphabet and other Cyrillic writing systems. In digital text, it is used to represent the phoneme /u/ or its equivalent in various languages that use the Cyrillic script, such as Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian, and Ukrainian. The character U+0423 has been an essential part of these languages since their development from Old Church Slavonic, playing a critical role in written communication and maintaining cultural and linguistic identity.
