Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ж has the Unicode code point U+0416. 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+0416 to binary:
00000100 00010110. 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+0416 is a Unicode character that represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Zhe (З). This letter plays a significant role in digital text by being one of the 33 letters used in the modern Russian alphabet, as well as several other languages such as Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Serbian. Its cultural importance lies in its usage for expressing various consonant sounds, specifically the voiced palatal affricate /ʑ/ or the voiceless postalveolar fricative /ʃ/. In terms of linguistic context, Zhe is derived from the Glagolitic script and later adopted into the Cyrillic alphabet. It is also essential in technical contexts like data encoding and text processing, where precise representation is crucial for accurate communication across digital platforms.
