Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ӝ has the Unicode code point U+04DD. 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+04DD to binary:
00000100 11011101. 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+04DD is the Unicode character for "CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER ZHE WITH DIAERESIS", a letter in the Cyrillic script used primarily in Russian and other Slavic languages. This character represents the sound /ʒ/, which is similar to the English 'z' but has a slightly different phonetic quality. In digital text, it serves a crucial role by enabling accurate representation of the original written form, thereby maintaining the integrity of the language. The Cyrillic script, including characters like U+04DD, has significant cultural and historical importance as it has been used for centuries in literature, religion, science, and technology within the Slavic-speaking world. Its use also showcases linguistic diversity on the global stage, fostering understanding and communication among different cultures. Despite being less common in digital text compared to other Cyrillic characters, U+04DD remains a vital symbol that contributes to the richness of the written Slavic languages.
