Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ӻ has the Unicode code point U+04FB. 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+04FB to binary:
00000100 11111011. 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 10111011

Description
U+04FB, also known as Cyrillic Small Letter Ghe with Stroke and Hook, is a character in the Unicode standard that plays an integral role in digital text representation of certain Slavic languages. It is used to represent the guttural "g" sound that is common in these languages, such as Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and Croatian. This particular Cyrillic letter stands out due to its distinctive shape, which features a horizontal stroke across the middle of the letter and an upward-curving hook on the right side, giving it a unique visual appearance compared to other Cyrillic letters. In typography, U+04FB plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity for texts written in these languages. It allows for clear and correct communication of ideas and stories across digital platforms and ensures that authors, publishers, and readers can engage with content that accurately represents their language's phonetic and orthographic properties.
