Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character б has the Unicode code point U+0431. 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+0431 to binary:
00000100 00110001. 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:
11010000 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+0431 represents the Cyrillic small letter 'BE', a fundamental element of the Russian language and other Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic script. In digital text, this character is essential for accurate translation and communication in these languages. The Cyrillic alphabet originated in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century, making it one of the oldest writing systems still in use today. The character 'BE' specifically has a prominent role in Russian linguistics due to its use in words like 'белый' (white) and 'без' (without). Additionally, the Cyrillic script is widely used across Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and Northern Eurasia, highlighting its significant cultural and technical relevance.
