Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ҧ has the Unicode code point U+04A7. 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+04A7 to binary:
00000100 10100111
. 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
The character U+04A7 is a Cyrillic letter known as "cyrillic small letter pe with middle hook" (PE). In digital text, it serves as a fundamental component of the Cyrillic script, which is used in various languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, and others. Its unique design features a vertical stroke in the middle, resembling a hook, giving it distinction from other Cyrillic letters. This character plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural identity for speakers of these languages, allowing them to express their language's nuances in digital communication and technology. In terms of technical context, U+04A7 is part of the Unicode Standard, which provides a unique code for every character, symbol, or emoji, enabling accurate rendering and interpretation across different platforms, devices, and software.
