Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ѽ has the Unicode code point U+047D. 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+047D to binary:
00000100 01111101
. 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 10111101

Description
U+047D, the Cyrillic Small Letter Omega with Titlo, is a unique character within the Unicode standard, playing a significant role in digital text representation. Primarily used in the Russian language and other Slavic languages that employ the Cyrillic script, this character is distinct for its use of the Titlo, or a small vertical stroke above the letter. This distinctive feature makes it stand out visually, assisting in the identification of words and phrases. In terms of linguistic context, the Cyrillic Small Letter Omega with Titlo contributes to the richness and variety of the Russian language, enabling precise expression and communication. Its use is particularly prevalent in informal writing or text messaging, where it may serve as a stylistic choice for emphasizing certain words or adding personality to the text. Technically, U+047D is part of the Cyrillic script block within Unicode, which encompasses over 256 characters used primarily in languages like Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. The inclusion of such a character highlights the comprehensive nature of Unicode, which strives to support all written languages and scripts globally, enabling accurate digital representation and preserving cultural diversity online.
