Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ӛ has the Unicode code point U+04DB. 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+04DB to binary:
00000100 11011011. 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 10011011

Description
U+04DB, the Cyrillic Small Letter Schwa with Diaeresis, is a distinctive character within the Unicode Standard, playing a crucial role in digital text representation for various languages using the Cyrillic script. This unique character primarily represents a vowel sound that is similar to the English 'ə' or schwa and often occurs in Russian and other Slavic languages. The diaeresis mark (¨) signifies the presence of an independent vowel, differentiating it from a sequence of vowels without such a mark. Its precise usage depends on the language context and helps to ensure accurate pronunciation and readability in digital communication, preserving cultural and linguistic nuances for speakers of these languages. In sum, U+04DB is an essential tool in the accurate representation of specific Cyrillic vowel sounds within the ever-expanding realm of digital text.
