Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ѷ has the Unicode code point U+0477. 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+0477 to binary:
00000100 01110111. 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 Unicode character U+0477, Cyrillic Small Letter Izhetsa with Double Grave Accent, holds a significant position in the realm of digital typography and text representation. In linguistic terms, it is specifically tied to the Russian language and plays a key role in transcribing words that feature the unique sounds characteristic to this language. The Cyrillic script, of which U+0477 is a part, has been extensively used in various Slavic languages including Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian and many others. The character, Izhetsa, is a rare letter that doesn't appear commonly even within the Cyrillic alphabet. It is known to have been derived from a letter in an older version of the Russian language called Old Church Slavonic, highlighting its historical significance. The double grave accent over the letter contributes to its distinctive appearance and is pivotal for accurate pronunciation when using text-to-speech technology or reading aloud. In digital contexts, it ensures proper encoding and representation of the character in different software and operating systems, contributing to the global comprehension and exchange of information across cultures. As such, U+0477 stands as a testament to the richness and diversity of world languages and scripts.
