Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ӟ has the Unicode code point U+04DF. 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+04DF to binary:
00000100 11011111
. 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:
11010011 10011111

Description
U+04DF, also known as "CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER ZE WITH DIAERESIS," is a specific character within the Unicode standard. This particular character holds significance in digital text for its role in representing a distinct sound or phoneme in certain Cyrillic languages such as Belarusian, Bulgarian and Macedonian. The Ze with diaeresis is not merely an aesthetic embellishment; it represents a unique sound that is crucial to the correct interpretation and pronunciation of words in these languages. This character's presence in digital text helps maintain linguistic accuracy and cultural integrity within the context of these language communities, facilitating communication and preserving linguistic diversity. In the realm of typography, characters like U+04DF are essential tools for graphic designers, web developers, and anyone else involved in creating and editing text using Cyrillic scripts.
