Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ө has the Unicode code point U+04E9. 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+04E9 to binary:
00000100 11101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+04E9, also known as "CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER BARRED O," plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the context of the Russian language and other Slavic languages that utilize the Cyrillic script. This unique letter is used to represent the phoneme /b/, which is distinct from the standard "o" sound. The barred "o" serves as an important diacritical mark in these languages, helping to distinguish homographs and maintain accurate pronunciation. In digital text, U+04E9 ensures the proper rendering of this letter across various platforms and devices, which is crucial for preserving linguistic integrity and facilitating seamless communication. With its critical function within the Cyrillic script, U+04E9 stands as a vital component in the field of typography and digital text representation.
