Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ҍ has the Unicode code point U+048D. 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+048D to binary:
00000100 10001101. 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+048D, also known as CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER SEMISOFT SIGN, is a unique Unicode character primarily used in digital text to represent a specific Cyrillic letter in the Russian alphabet. This particular character holds significance within the linguistic and cultural context of Russian-speaking communities, as it serves a functional role in written communication. Unlike other letters in the Cyrillic script, CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER SEMISOFT SIGN is not commonly used to form words or express meaning; instead, it has a technical application. It can be employed to replace missing or unsupported characters within the Cyrillic alphabet when using certain encoding systems, such as KOI8-R. By serving this purpose, CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER SEMISOFT SIGN contributes to maintaining the integrity of text content and ensuring its accurate representation in digital environments.
