Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character р has the Unicode code point U+0440. 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+0440 to binary:
00000100 01000000
. 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 Unicode character U+0440 represents the Cyrillic small letter Er (Э). In digital texts, this character is primarily used in Russian and other Slavic languages that employ the Cyrillic script. It plays a significant role in these languages as it is a fundamental building block of words and phrases. The Cyrillic script is named after its creator, Saint Cyril, also known as Constantine Cyriacus, who developed it from the Greek alphabet in the 9th century AD. This script has been widely adopted across Eastern Europe and Central Asia, where it serves as a medium for various languages, such as Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Belarusian, and others. The Cyrillic script has played an essential role in shaping the cultural and linguistic identity of these regions over centuries.
