Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ѝ has the Unicode code point U+045D. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+045D to binary:
00000100 01011101
. 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+045D is the Unicode code point for Cyrillic Small Letter I with Grave (С), a character found in various Slavic languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, and Macedonian alphabets. This letter serves a crucial role in digital text by representing the palatalized version of the consonant "I" in the Cyrillic script. Its usage is significant in transcribing phonetic sounds accurately for these languages that use Cyrillic as their writing system. The Cyrillic script, which has its roots in the Greek alphabet and the Glagolitic alphabet, was developed during the First Bulgarian Empire in the 9th century AD. In digital text, U+045D ensures that the unique pronunciation of the letter "I" with grave (С) is maintained, enabling accurate translation and communication across different languages and regions. This character contributes to preserving linguistic diversity and facilitates cross-cultural understanding in the digital age.
