Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ђ has the Unicode code point U+0452. 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+0452 to binary:
00000100 01010010
. 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
U+0452 is a character in the Cyrillic script known as "CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER DJE." This letter is an essential component of various Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet, such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Serbian. The Cyrillic script originated in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century and has since evolved to include numerous modifications and additional characters. In digital text, U+0452 is used to represent the phoneme /ʑ/, a voiced postalveolar fricative that plays a vital role in these languages' pronunciation systems. The Cyrillic script's use in diverse cultures and geographic regions has contributed to its status as one of the most widely spoken writing systems globally, making U+0452 an indispensable character for accurate language representation.
