Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ӏ has the Unicode code point U+04C0. 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+04C0 to binary:
00000100 11000000
. 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+04C0 is a Unicode character representing the Cyrillic Letter Palochka (П). It plays an essential role in digital texts of languages that use the Cyrillic script, primarily Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, and other Slavic languages. The Cyrillic letter Palochka has a notable cultural significance as it is one of the 33 letters used in the modern Russian alphabet. It was introduced by Peter the Great's reform of the Russian alphabet in 1708, replacing the earlier Cyrillic Letter Yeru (Ѱ). In its technical context, U+04C0 is part of the Cyrillic block in the Unicode Standard, ensuring consistent encoding and representation across various digital platforms. The accurate usage of this character contributes to the preservation and enhancement of linguistic diversity in the digital realm.
