Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ҥ has the Unicode code point U+04A5. 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+04A5 to binary:
00000100 10100101. 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 10100101

Description
U+04A5, the Cyrillic Small Ligature En Ghe, is a typographical character that plays an essential role in digital text, particularly within Slavic languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, and Serbian. This unique symbol is created by combining two individual Cyrillic letters: "EN" (U+041E and U+0435) and the letter "GHE" (U+049D). The ligature serves to improve readability and maintain consistency in text formatting, as it represents a commonly used syllable or sound sequence that occurs in these languages. In linguistic terms, this character denotes the syllables "en" followed by the palatalized consonant "g", which is pronounced similar to the English "ny". The use of Cyrillic Small Ligature En Ghe demonstrates cultural and technical understanding of Slavic language systems, enhancing the accuracy and legibility of digital text in these regions.
