Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ӯ has the Unicode code point U+04EE. 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+04EE to binary:
00000100 11101110
. 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+04EE, known as CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER U WITH MACRON, plays a significant role in digital text representation, particularly in languages using the Cyrillic script such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. It is used to represent the letter "У" (U) with a macron, or horizontal line over it, which can alter the pronunciation of the letter or denote a long vowel sound. This character contributes to the accuracy and intelligibility of digital text in these languages by ensuring proper representation of the intended sounds and words. The U+04EE Cyrillic Capital Letter U With Macron reflects the importance of diacritical marks in many written languages, emphasizing the distinction between similar-looking letters or indicating specific phonetic qualities.
