Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ҳ has the Unicode code point U+04B3. 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+04B3 to binary:
00000100 10110011. 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 character U+04B3, known as "CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER HA WITH DESCENDER," holds significant importance in digital text due to its role in the Cyrillic script, widely used in languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Ukrainian. In these languages, it represents the voiced glottal plosive /h/, which is a crucial phoneme for intelligible communication. Its descender, or the part of the letter that extends below the baseline, distinguishes it from other Cyrillic letters like HA without a descender (U+0425) and helps maintain the visual harmony in text, enhancing readability and fluency for users familiar with these scripts. Furthermore, the CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER HA WITH DESCENDER is essential for accurate transcription of literary works, scientific texts, and digital media in languages that employ the Cyrillic script, contributing to cultural preservation and linguistic diversity on the global stage.
