Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ѯ has the Unicode code point U+046F. 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+046F to binary:
00000100 01101111. 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+046F is the Unicode code point for "CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER KSI" (К), a character widely used in the Cyrillic script. In digital text, it serves as a fundamental building block for words and phrases in languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Serbian, among others that use the Cyrillic alphabet. This letter is noteworthy for its cultural significance, particularly in Slavic countries, where it has been used for centuries to represent various phonetic sounds. The character's inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures seamless interchangeability and compatibility across different digital platforms and applications, thus facilitating communication and preserving linguistic heritage in the digital age.
