Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ґ has the Unicode code point U+0491. 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+0491 to binary:
00000100 10010001. 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+0491, known as "CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER GHE WITH UPTURN", is a crucial element in the Cyrillic script, which is used in various languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. In digital text, this character plays a vital role as it represents the Cyrillic lowercase letter 'г'. The presence of an upturn (also known as an acute accent) at the end of the ghe symbolizes a change in pronunciation, making it a distinct character from the standard Cyrillic small letter 'g' (U+0433). This unique linguistic feature contributes to the richness and expressiveness of the Cyrillic script, which has been integral to various Slavic languages for centuries. As an expert in Unicode and typography, it is crucial to understand the significance of such characters and their nuanced roles within specific language systems, as they contribute to accurate digital representations of written text across diverse cultures and languages.
