Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ѱ has the Unicode code point U+0471. 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+0471 to binary:
00000100 01110001. 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 Unicode character U+0471 represents the Cyrillic small letter Psi (П) in digital text. This letter is primarily used in the Russian and Ukrainian languages. Although it resembles the Greek letter psi (Ψ), it serves as an independent glyph in the Cyrillic alphabet. The Cyrillic script is widely used across Eastern Europe, predominantly in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and other Slavic-speaking countries. U+0471's typographic role is to represent the consonant /p/ sound with a palatalized pronunciation, which is crucial for accurate phonetic transcription and intelligible communication in these languages. The Cyrillic script is also used in various other languages spoken in regions that were once part of the Soviet Union or had close cultural ties to it. In digital text, U+0471 is essential for preserving the integrity of written language, enabling smooth communication and information exchange among speakers of these languages.
