Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ӊ has the Unicode code point U+04CA. 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+04CA to binary:
00000100 11001010. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+04CA, Cyrillic Small Letter En with Tail, is a crucial component of the Cyrillic script used in various Slavic languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. This letter has a unique feature: it possesses a tail that extends downward from the base of the character, setting it apart from other Cyrillic letters. In digital text, U+04CA fulfills its role as a distinct grapheme with phonemic significance in these languages. Its presence allows speakers and writers to accurately represent specific sounds within the phonological system of these languages. It is essential for proper communication, as misinterpretation or absence of this character can lead to confusion or misunderstanding in written text. The Cyrillic script itself has historical and cultural importance, originating from the First Bulgarian Empire in the 9th century and later evolving into various modern-day scripts, which are used by millions of people across Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
