Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ҽ has the Unicode code point U+04BD. 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+04BD to binary:
00000100 10111101
. 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:
11010010 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+04BD represents the Cyrillic small letter Abkhazian Che (ᰫ), which is a unique letter in the Georgian script used for the Abkhaz language. This character plays a significant role in digital text, as it enables accurate and clear communication for speakers of the Abkhaz language, which is primarily spoken in the breakaway region of Abkhazia within Georgia. The Abkhaz language has its own unique alphabet system that deviates from the standard Cyrillic script, making U+04BD an essential character for preserving the distinct cultural and linguistic identity of the Abkhaz people. In terms of technical context, this character is crucial for accurate text encoding and display in digital platforms, such as websites and software applications, that cater to users who communicate in the Abkhaz language.
