Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ӷ has the Unicode code point U+04F7. 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+04F7 to binary:
00000100 11110111. 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+04F7 represents the Cyrillic small letter "Гhe with descender" (Cyrillic Small Letter Ghe with Descender). This character is primarily used in digital text for representing the Russian Cyrillic alphabet and is commonly utilized within languages that use the Cyrillic script, such as Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and others. Its primary role is to serve as a lowercase form of the Cyrillic letter Гhe (U+0413), which is used at the beginning of words or after certain vowels. The "descender" element in the character's name refers to the characteristic vertical stroke that extends below the main body of the letter, which is a distinctive feature of several Cyrillic characters. This particular aspect can be critical for proper typing and font design, as it affects the overall legibility and visual harmony within text.
