Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ѕ has the Unicode code point U+0455. 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+0455 to binary:
00000100 01010101. 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+0455 represents the Cyrillic Small Letter Dze (Д). In digital text, this character is commonly used in various Slavic languages that utilize the Cyrillic script, such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. In these languages, it serves a vital role in phonetic representation, representing a distinct sound not found in the Latin alphabet. The Cyrillic Small Letter Dze emerged from the Cyrillic script's historical development in the 9th century AD, when Saints Cyril and Methodius created an early form of this writing system to transcribe the Slavonic language. Since then, the Cyrillic script has evolved and spread throughout Eastern Europe and Central Asia, playing a significant role in these regions' cultural, linguistic, and historical contexts. Today, the Unicode character U+0455 remains an important component for accurate digital representation of texts in languages employing the Cyrillic script.
