Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ӧ has the Unicode code point U+04E7. 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+04E7 to binary:
00000100 11100111
. 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:
11010011 10100111

Description
U+04E7, Cyrillic Small Letter O with Diacritic, is a significant character in the Unicode standard, specifically within the Cyrillic script. Its primary role in digital text is to represent the sound "o" as found in various Slavic languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian, among others. The diacritic mark attached to the lower case "o" is known as a diaeresis or umlaut, which modifies the pronunciation of the letter in certain contexts. In the Cyrillic script, this character plays a crucial part in conveying accurate phonetic and grammatical information within these languages, contributing to clear communication and understanding among speakers. Its presence in digital text is fundamental for preserving linguistic integrity and ensuring cultural authenticity in written works.
