Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ѻ has the Unicode code point U+047B. 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+047B to binary:
00000100 01111011
. 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+047B, the Cyrillic Small Letter Round Omega, is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, specifically designed for use in digital text. It plays a significant role in the Russian language, as well as other Slavic languages that utilize the Cyrillic alphabet. This character is notable due to its distinctive shape, which sets it apart from other letters within the alphabet. In the context of linguistics, the Cyrillic Small Letter Round Omega is used to represent the phoneme /o/ in the Russian language and its related Slavic languages. The round shape of this letter distinguishes it from other Cyrillic characters that also represent vowel sounds, such as U+0472 (CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER O) or U+0486 (CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE). The Cyrillic Small Letter Round Omega is an essential component of digital text encoding systems, ensuring that Cyrillic-based languages are accurately represented and preserved in various communication platforms. The character's inclusion in the Unicode Standard underscores the importance of promoting diversity and inclusivity within global typography and written expression.
