Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character В has the Unicode code point U+0412. 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+0412 to binary:
00000100 00010010. 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+0412 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Ve (В), a letter in the Cyrillic alphabet used predominantly in Slavic languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Bulgarian. In digital text, it is utilized for its typical role of representing the consonant "V" sound and carries cultural significance in these languages. The Cyrillic script originated during the First Bulgarian Empire around 893 CE, and since then, it has evolved to become the most widely used writing system among Eastern Slavs. U+0412 is a critical component of these languages, helping to preserve and transmit their rich linguistic heritage, history, and cultural identity. As with any character in the Unicode Standard, accurate encoding and representation are crucial for the correct interpretation and display of digital text in these languages.
