Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ӣ has the Unicode code point U+04E3. 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+04E3 to binary:
00000100 11100011. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+04E3 represents the Cyrillic small letter "I" with macron (Ч), a symbol widely used in the Russian language and other Slavic languages that employ the Cyrillic alphabet. In digital text, this character serves as a crucial element for accurate representation of written works in these languages. Its use is deeply rooted in cultural and linguistic contexts where it plays an essential role in conveying specific phonetic and grammatical distinctions. The macron on the "I" alters its pronunciation from the typical "i" sound to a long "ee" sound, enabling precise communication of intended meanings. This character's technical design ensures accurate representation across various digital platforms and applications, contributing significantly to effective global communication.
