Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character њ has the Unicode code point U+045A. 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+045A to binary:
00000100 01011010
. 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:
11010001 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+045A represents the Cyrillic Small Letter Nje (Ч), a specific letter in the Cyrillic alphabet. This letter is used predominantly in the Russian language and other languages that utilize the Cyrillic script, such as Ukrainian and Belarusian. Its role in digital text includes facilitating accurate representation of written communication, particularly within Slavic cultures where the use of the Cyrillic script is prevalent. U+045A holds significance not only for its linguistic and cultural context, but also for its technical application in various software systems and websites that require support for Cyrillic character encoding. The Cyrillic Small Letter Nje (Ч) is an essential component of the Cyrillic script, which originated in the 9th century and has since become one of the most widely used writing systems worldwide.
