Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character я has the Unicode code point U+044F. 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+044F to binary:
00000100 01001111. 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+044F, or CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER YA, is a vital character in the Unicode Standard, which aims to represent every character from every written language in the world. In the context of digital text, this character plays a significant role as it is essential for Cyrillic-based languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. The character represents the unvoiced palatal stop /j/ sound and is used in various words across these languages. The Cyrillic script has historical and cultural importance as it was developed in the 9th century AD by the Slavic people, which includes nations that speak these languages today. The character U+044F contributes to this rich linguistic history and allows for accurate communication and representation of these languages in digital text.
