Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ҵ has the Unicode code point U+04B4. 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+04B4 to binary:
00000100 10110100. 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+04B4 is known as the Cyrillic Capital Ligature TE TSE. This character plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Russian language and other Slavic languages that utilize the Cyrillic script. Specifically, it represents a combination of two characters: "TE" followed by "TSE." In its typical usage, this ligature is used to represent the pronunciation of a single consonant cluster, which would otherwise be split into two separate syllables if spelled out in full. This linguistic feature can be found across various dialects and accents within these languages. The Cyrillic Capital Ligature TE TSE serves as an important tool for maintaining accurate pronunciation and clarity of speech in written text, reflecting the rich cultural and linguistic heritage of the Slavic-speaking world.
