Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ҟ has the Unicode code point U+049F. 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+049F to binary:
00000100 10011111
. 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+049F is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, specifically representing Cyrillic Small Letter Ka with Stroke (Кк). This character holds significant importance in digital text, particularly within the Russian language and other Slavic languages that utilize the Cyrillic alphabet. In these contexts, it serves as a critical component of written communication, allowing for the accurate representation of specific linguistic elements and maintaining cultural accuracy. The stroke in its design sets it apart from other standard Cyrillic small letter KAs, adding a distinguishing feature to this character in digital text. Its role in preserving linguistic integrity and facilitating culturally-sensitive communication cannot be overstated.
