Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ҙ has the Unicode code point U+0498. 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+0498 to binary:
00000100 10011000. 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+0498 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Ze with Descender in digital text. It is primarily used in Russian and other Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic script, such as Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and others. This letter holds a significant position in the alphabet, often serving as a marker for specific grammatical structures or phonetic distinctions. While sharing similarities with the Latin-based alphabets, Cyrillic script has its own unique characteristics, such as descenders that extend below the baseline, like in the case of U+0498 Ze with Descender. This distinctive feature allows for greater expressiveness and variety in written text.
