Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Є has the Unicode code point U+0404. 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+0404 to binary:
00000100 00000100
. 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+0404 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Ukrainian IE (Ukrainian Yi), a letter used in the Ukrainian alphabet. This character plays an essential role in digital text, as it enables the accurate representation of Ukrainian language and culture online. In the Ukrainian language, the letter serves to denote the phoneme /iː/ or /j/, making it crucial for the correct pronunciation and understanding of written texts. The Cyrillic script, which includes U+0404, is not only significant in Ukraine but also in other Eastern European countries such as Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan where the Ukrainian IE plays a vital role in preserving linguistic heritage and fostering communication.
