Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ћ has the Unicode code point U+045B. 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+045B to binary:
00000100 01011011
. 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:
11010001 10011011

Description
U+045B, also known as Cyrillic Small Letter Tshe, is a character within the Unicode standard that represents a letter in the Russian alphabet and other Slavic languages. In digital text, it typically serves as a unique identifier or marker for words or phrases in these languages, aiding in accurate language translation and interpretation. The Cyrillic script has its roots in the Byzantine Empire, and the Tshe character is particularly notable due to its distinct shape, which is slightly more complex than other Cyrillic letters. It is part of the larger orthographic system used for various Slavic languages, including Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, and Macedonian. The accurate use of this character and its counterparts ensures correct communication and preservation of cultural context in digital texts.
