Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ӂ has the Unicode code point U+04C1. 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+04C1 to binary:
00000100 11000001. 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+04C1 is the Unicode for Cyrillic Capital Letter Zhe with Breve (ẑ), a character primarily used in digital text representing the initial consonant of the Russian language. This letter holds significance as it is part of the Cyrillic script, which is one of the most widely spoken scripts globally. The Breve symbol, represented by a small horizontal line beneath the letter, serves to differentiate Zhe (ẑ) from other similar-looking Cyrillic characters such as Za (За). Although this character may not be prominently used in everyday written text, its presence is vital for accurate digital communication and translation. The Cyrillic script, with its diverse range of characters and symbols, remains a crucial aspect of Slavic and Eastern European linguistic heritage.
