Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ҏ has the Unicode code point U+048F. 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+048F to binary:
00000100 10001111. 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
U+048F is the Unicode code point for Cyrillic Small Letter Er with Tick (ẻ), a typographical character in the Cyrillic script used primarily in Russian and other Slavic languages. The character is used to represent the phoneme /ə/, which is an unstressed, central vowel sound found in many Slavic languages. In digital text, its usage is quite specific and typically relates to transcription of words from these languages into the Latin script or other non-Cyrillic scripts, as the character provides a more accurate representation of the original pronunciation than using an apostrophe or other symbols. The use of this character in linguistic studies and translations helps maintain the phonetic integrity of the source text, thereby preserving its meaning and intent for readers who are familiar with the language.
