Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character З has the Unicode code point U+0417. 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+0417 to binary:
00000100 00010111
. 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:
11010000 10010111

Description
U+0417 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Ze (З) in Unicode, a comprehensive character encoding standard for digital text representation. This character is widely used in Russian and other Slavic languages such as Bulgarian, Serbian, and Macedonian, where it denotes the voiced alveolar affricate sound [d͡z]. In digital texts, Cyrillic Capital Letter Ze is frequently employed to transcribe proper nouns, brand names, and technical terminology from these languages. U+0417 holds a significant role in preserving cultural identity and promoting linguistic diversity across various Slavic-speaking communities worldwide. The character's accurate representation in digital environments contributes to effective communication and fosters understanding among users of different languages that utilize the Cyrillic script.
