Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ӭ has the Unicode code point U+04ED. 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+04ED to binary:
00000100 11101101
. 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 10101101

Description
U+04ED, also known as Cyrillic Small Letter E with Diacritical Mark, is a crucial character in the Unicode system. Its typical usage involves representing an extended version of the Cyrillic letter 'E' in digital text. The diacritical mark distinguishes it from the regular Cyrillic small letter 'E' (U+042D). This particular character plays a significant role in several languages that use the Cyrillic script, such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. In these languages, it helps differentiate between similar phonetic sounds or represents distinct meanings. As for its cultural, linguistic, and technical context, U+04ED is essential for accurate representation of text in various Slavic and Eastern European languages, ensuring proper readability and comprehension of digital materials. Its inclusion in the Unicode system facilitates seamless communication and exchange of information across different platforms and devices worldwide.
