Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ӹ has the Unicode code point U+04F8. 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+04F8 to binary:
00000100 11111000
. 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:
11010011 10111000

Description
The Unicode character U+04F8, Cyrillic Capital Letter Yeru with Diacritic, plays a crucial role in digital text representation of the Russian language and other Slavic languages that utilize the Cyrillic script. It is distinct due to its diacritic mark, known as a diaeresis or umlaut, which influences the pronunciation of the letter. In linguistic and cultural contexts, this character facilitates accurate transliteration and transcription of words and phrases, preserving their original meaning and intent in various forms of communication. Its precise usage reflects adherence to typographical standards and principles, ensuring clarity and readability in digital texts across diverse platforms and applications.
