Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ӟ has the Unicode code point U+04DE. 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+04DE to binary:
00000100 11011110
. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+04DE, Cyrillic Capital Letter Zhe with Diaeresis (), is a letter of the Cyrillic script, which plays a crucial role in various Slavic languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian. This particular letter represents the palatalized pronunciation of the consonant "Zh" and is used to convey a specific phonetic sound in these languages. In digital text, U+04DE helps maintain the accuracy and integrity of linguistic content by enabling authors and publishers to represent their works authentically for readers using these languages. Its presence in digital text also supports multilingualism, promoting cultural diversity and understanding among people from different backgrounds.
