Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ә has the Unicode code point U+04D9. 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+04D9 to binary:
00000100 11011001. 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 10011001

Description
U+04D9, known as the Cyrillic Small Letter Schwa (᰽), is a character from the Unicode Standard that primarily serves in digital text communication within languages utilizing the Cyrillic script. The schwa symbol is an essential element of the Russian language and other related Slavic languages. Although it is a relatively rare character, it plays a vital role in these linguistic systems by representing the unstressed vowel sound similar to the English 'ə.' In digital text formats, U+04D9 allows for more precise representation of spoken Russian and provides a comprehensive means for users to express nuances that would otherwise be lost or misinterpreted. As part of the Cyrillic script, it is an important component in preserving cultural context and linguistic accuracy across various platforms and applications.
