Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ӵ has the Unicode code point U+04F5. 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+04F5 to binary:
00000100 11110101
. 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 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+04F5, Cyrillic Small Letter Che with Diaeresis, plays a significant role in the representation of digital text in various Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic script, such as Bulgarian and Macedonian. This character is used to denote the phoneme /ʃ/, a palatalized postalveolar fricative similar to the English sound "sh" in "sheep." The diaeresis above the letter indicates a change in pronunciation from the base Cyrillic Che (У) and signifies a palatalization or softness of the consonant. In linguistic terms, U+04F5 reflects an important aspect of the Slavic languages' phonetic inventory, showcasing the rich diversity of sounds within these languages. The character's usage not only helps maintain the integrity and accuracy of digital text in these languages but also contributes to a greater understanding and appreciation of their unique cultural expressions.
