Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ѣ has the Unicode code point U+0462. 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+0462 to binary:
00000100 01100010. 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
U+0462 is the Unicode code point for the Cyrillic Capital Letter Yat (С). This character plays a significant role in the Russian language and other languages that use the Cyrillic script, such as Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Bulgarian. In its typical usage within digital text, it serves as an uppercase representation of the consonant "й" or "yat". The Cyrillic script is widely used across Eastern Europe and Northern Asia, and the letter Yat is specifically notable for its unique shape, which sets it apart from other Latin-based alphabets. The Cyrillic script has a rich history dating back to the 9th century when it was developed under the influence of Byzantine missionaries, making it an essential part of various cultures and linguistic traditions. Its technical context is found in Unicode encoding, which ensures that digital text can be correctly interpreted and displayed across different platforms and devices.
