Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character м has the Unicode code point U+043C. 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+043C to binary:
00000100 00111100. 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:
11010000 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+043C, known as the Cyrillic Small Letter Em (Э), plays a significant role in the Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic script. It is commonly used in Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, and other related languages. In digital text, it functions as a basic unit of these languages, serving to convey meaning and express ideas. The Cyrillic script originated in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century and has since expanded to accommodate various Slavic dialects. U+043C holds particular cultural significance within these communities, where it is widely recognized and employed for written communication. Its technical context lies within the Unicode Standard, which ensures global interoperability of digital text by providing a unique number for every character. In summary, U+043C is a crucial component of the Cyrillic script and serves as an indispensable element in the Slavic languages' written expression.
