Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character э has the Unicode code point U+044D. 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+044D to binary:
00000100 01001101. 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+044D represents the Cyrillic Small Letter E (Э), a key component of the modern Russian alphabet and several other Slavic languages. As part of the Cyrillic script, it plays a vital role in digital text communication and information exchange within these linguistic domains. The Cyrillic script originated in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century and has since been adopted by various Slavic-speaking nations. Today, the Cyrillic alphabet is used by more than 250 million people worldwide, making it one of the most widely spoken writing systems globally. U+044D specifically contributes to the accurate representation of the Russian language and related dialects, fostering cultural and linguistic continuity in digital media and communication platforms.
