Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ѿ has the Unicode code point U+047F. 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+047F to binary:
00000100 01111111
. 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+047F, also known as Cyrillic Small Letter Ot, is a specialized character found in the Unicode standard. This character primarily plays a role in digital text by representing a letter used in several languages that employ the Cyrillic alphabet, such as Russian, Belarusian, and Ukrainian. It is noteworthy for its cultural significance in these regions where it is used to convey specific linguistic distinctions. The technical context of this character is relatively limited when compared to more widely-used letters in the Cyrillic script, making its use less common in general digital text. Despite this, it remains an important part of the Unicode system for maintaining accuracy and inclusivity across a diverse range of languages and scripts.
