Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Җ has the Unicode code point U+0496. 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+0496 to binary:
00000100 10010110. 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+0496 is a Unicode character representing the Cyrillic Capital Letter Zhe with Descender (Ẑ). This specific letter is commonly used in the Russian language and other Slavic languages that utilize the Cyrillic script. The descender refers to the part of the letter which extends below the baseline, giving it a unique visual appearance compared to other Cyrillic letters without a descender, such as "Zhe" (U+0436) or "Zhitsa" (U+2018 ❮ ). This distinct feature helps in proper identification and differentiation of words when typesetting digital text. In terms of linguistic context, the letter Ẑ represents a specific sound /ʒ/, which is similar to the English "zh" sound. It is essential for accurate transcription and translation of Russian and other Slavic languages that use this phoneme.
