Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ч has the Unicode code point U+0447. 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+0447 to binary:
00000100 01000111. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+0447 represents the Cyrillic small letter Che (С). It is an essential glyph in the modern Russian alphabet and various other Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic script, such as Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, and Serbian. The character typically serves its role in digital text by representing the consonant sound "sh" or "ch," depending on its position within a word's phonetic context. In Russian, for example, when Che (С) appears before a soft sign (ь), it produces the voiced postalveolar affricate /ʑ/, which is similar to the English "sh" sound. The Cyrillic script, of which Che (С) is a part, originated in the 9th century and has since evolved into multiple alphabet variations, each serving different languages and regions. In terms of linguistic and cultural significance, Che (С) has played an important role in the development of these Slavic languages by enabling their speakers to communicate through written text.
