Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ҙ has the Unicode code point U+0499. 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+0499 to binary:
00000100 10011001. 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 10011001

Description
U+0499, or the Cyrillic Small Letter Ze with Descender, is a typographical character primarily used in the Russian language. In digital text, this character serves as a key component of the Russian alphabet, allowing for the accurate representation and communication of various words and phrases. The Cyrillic script, which includes U+0499, has its origins in the 9th century, when it was developed by Saint Cyril and his brother, Saint Methodius, for the purpose of translating religious texts into Slavic languages. This character is specifically used to represent the consonant /z/, and its descender gives it a unique visual appearance that distinguishes it from other similar characters in the alphabet. The presence of U+0499 in digital text ensures accurate communication, especially in fields like literature, linguistics, and computer science. It plays a crucial role in preserving cultural heritage and facilitating global understanding of the Russian language and other Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic script.
