Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character җ has the Unicode code point U+0497. 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+0497 to binary:
00000100 10010111
. 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+0497, the Cyrillic Small Letter Zhe with Descender, is a character from the Unicode Standard that holds significant importance in digital text representation, particularly within the context of the Russian and other Slavic languages. This letter is primarily used to represent the consonant sound 'zh' (ʒ) and plays an essential role in the phonetic structure of these languages. In its Cyrillic Small Letter Zhe form, it distinctly features a descender that extends below the baseline of the character, which sets it apart from other similar characters within the script. This unique feature is vital for accurate representation and recognition in digital text processing systems, as it allows for precise identification and differentiation among various Cyrillic characters. In summary, U+0497, the Cyrillic Small Letter Zhe with Descender, serves as a critical component of the Slavic languages' phonetic system, ensuring accurate representation and communication in digital text.
