Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ѐ has the Unicode code point U+0450. 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+0450 to binary:
00000100 01010000
. 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+0450, the Cyrillic Small Letter IE with Grave, is a typographical character used primarily within the Russian language and other Slavic languages that utilize the Cyrillic script. This particular character serves as a lowercase letter in these languages, representing the phoneme /je/, which is similar to the English "ye" sound. In digital text, it plays an essential role in accurately conveying the intended meaning of words written in these languages. The presence of the grave accent (`) on the Cyrillic Small Letter IE denotes a palatalized pronunciation, as opposed to the hard or unpalatalized variant that lacks the diacritical mark. This distinction is crucial for proper enunciation and comprehension of words in these languages. The Cyrillic script has historical roots dating back to the 9th century when it was developed by Slavic missionaries to transcribe religious texts. Over time, the script has evolved into several variations used across different regions, including the Russian Federation, Belarus, Ukraine, and other Eastern European countries. In terms of technical context, U+0450 is encoded within the Unicode Standard, enabling consistent representation and display across various digital platforms and software applications. It is essential to ensure accurate translation, localization, and internationalization of content for audiences in regions where these languages are spoken.
