Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ӆ has the Unicode code point U+04C6. 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+04C6 to binary:
00000100 11000110. 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 10000110

Description
U+04C6, the Cyrillic Small Letter El with Tail, is a character in the Unicode Standard that plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in Slavic languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Serbian. It serves as a key component of the Cyrillic script, which has been extensively used for over a thousand years. This specific character represents the sound /ɛl/ or /ɛʟ/, depending on the context and language. In its linguistic application, U+04C6 contributes to the expression of various words and phrases that incorporate the /ɛl/ sound. Its distinctive feature is the tail at the bottom right corner of the letter "Е" (Cyrillic Small Letter E), which sets it apart from other Cyrillic characters. This tail also plays a crucial role in distinguishing U+04C6 from similar-looking letters, such as "Ы" (Cyrillic Small Letter Yeru). The character U+04C6 holds cultural significance in regions where the Cyrillic script is predominant, reflecting the rich history and heritage of these communities. It serves not only as an essential element for reading and writing but also as a symbol of national identity for speakers of Slavic languages that utilize this script.
