Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ҡ has the Unicode code point U+04A1. 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+04A1 to binary:
00000100 10100001
. 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 10100001

Description
The character U+04A1, known as Cyrillic Small Letter Bashkir Ka (К), is a vital component of the Bashkir alphabet. In digital text, it serves as a crucial element in conveying the Bashkir language, which belongs to the Turkic language family and is predominantly spoken in the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia. As one of the 32 letters used in the Bashkir script, U+04A1 plays a significant role in transcribing phonetic sounds and forming words in this unique language, which has been historically influenced by Turkic, Tatar, and Russian languages. Despite being less known globally compared to other Cyrillic characters, U+04A1 holds immense cultural importance for the Bashkir people and contributes to the preservation of their linguistic identity.
