Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ӗ has the Unicode code point U+04D7. 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+04D7 to binary:
00000100 11010111
. 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+04D7 is the Unicode code point for "CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER IE WITH BREVE", a unique character in the Cyrillic script used in multiple languages, including Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and others. This letter represents the sound 'i' or 'y'. The breve mark (a small line under the character) serves as a diacritical mark to differentiate it from other similar characters in the script. In digital text, its role is to accurately represent this distinct phonetic sound, ensuring clear communication in languages that utilize the Cyrillic alphabet. This character is vital in various cultural and linguistic contexts, as it aids in the correct pronunciation and interpretation of words in these languages. The use of U+04D7 is primarily seen within the digital text sphere, where accurate representation of characters and their phonetic values are essential for proper communication and understanding across different cultures and languages that employ the Cyrillic script.
