Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ӎ has the Unicode code point U+04CE. 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+04CE to binary:
00000100 11001110
. 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 character U+04CE, known as the Cyrillic Small Letter Em with Tail, plays a significant role in digital text by representing a unique letter within the Cyrillic script. This particular letter is used primarily in the Russian language and other Slavic languages that employ the Cyrillic alphabet. It has a distinctive shape characterized by its tail-like extension on the lower right side of the letter, which differentiates it from the regular "Em" character. In linguistic contexts, this Cyrillic Small Letter Em with Tail contributes to the phonetic and phonological structure of the Russian language, representing a specific sound or phoneme, and thus enabling accurate communication and expression. Furthermore, in technical contexts, the proper encoding and representation of U+04CE ensure that digital text is displayed correctly across various platforms and devices, preserving the integrity of the original language's nuances.
