Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ӏ has the Unicode code point U+04CF. 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+04CF to binary:
00000100 11001111. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+04CF, known as the Cyrillic Small Letter Palochka, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Russian language and other Slavic languages that utilize the Cyrillic script. As part of the extended Latin-based alphabet for these languages, this character represents the phoneme /p/, similar to its English counterpart 'p'. The Palochka is also known as "soft sign" in some contexts due to its historical usage in denoting a palatalization of consonants. This is an essential aspect of Russian and other Slavic languages, which utilize this character to indicate specific pronunciation rules and the conjugation of words. The Cyrillic Small Letter Palochka is considered an important element in preserving and transmitting these linguistic characteristics accurately through digital communication platforms.
