Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ќ has the Unicode code point U+045C. 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+045C to binary:
00000100 01011100. 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+045C, the Cyrillic Small Letter Kje (К), is a character from the Cyrillic script that plays a crucial role in digital text. In the Russian language and its various dialects, it represents a consonant sound, often appearing alongside other vowels to form words. The Cyrillic script has its origins in Byzantine imperial administration of the 9th century and is widely used in Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. Today, it remains an essential component of digital text processing systems, including word processors and web browsers, where it supports accurate and efficient communication in multiple languages that utilize the Cyrillic alphabet. With its roots deeply embedded in cultural and linguistic history, U+045C continues to contribute to the rich tapestry of human expression and understanding.
