Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ӑ has the Unicode code point U+04D1. 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+04D1 to binary:
00000100 11010001. 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:
11010011 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+04D1 represents the Cyrillic small letter "a" with breve (Аа). In digital text, this character serves as a basic building block for writing in Russian and other Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic script. It is commonly used in communication, literature, and documentation. The Cyrillic script originated in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century and has since become the primary writing system for several languages, including Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Serbian, and many others. The breve (˘) is a diacritical mark denoting a short vowel sound and can be found in various alphabets, including Cyrillic, Latin, and Greek. In the context of the Cyrillic script, it is used to distinguish the "a" with breve from other similar characters, like "б" (Cyrillic small letter b) or "ц" (Cyrillic small letter tse).
