Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ұ has the Unicode code point U+04B1. 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+04B1 to binary:
00000100 10110001
. 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:
11010010 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+04B1 represents the Cyrillic small letter "straight u with stroke" (Кк). In digital texts, this character plays a significant role in Slavic languages, primarily Russian, where it is used to represent a distinct phoneme. The Cyrillic script has been an essential part of Russian culture and history, dating back to the 9th century when it was introduced by the Byzantine missionary Saint Cyril. U+04B1, along with other characters in the Cyrillic block (U+0400 to U+04FF), contributes to the richness and diversity of these languages. The character's unique design helps differentiate it from similar letters in the Latin script, ensuring accurate communication and preserving linguistic nuances in digital communications.
