Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ҂ has the Unicode code point U+0482. 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+0482 to binary:
00000100 10000010. 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
The Unicode character U+0482, known as the Cyrillic Thousands Sign, is a critical component of the Russian and other Cyrillic alphabet-based languages. In its typical usage in digital text, it is used to denote thousands in numerals. For instance, when used with a numeral like 5, it represents 5,000. It's particularly significant in these languages because unlike English, where the comma separates hundreds and thousands (e.g., 5,000), and the period denotes decimals (e.g., 5.23), Cyrillic alphabet-based languages utilize this character to signify thousands. The Cyrillic Thousands Sign has a noteworthy cultural, linguistic, and technical context as it plays an essential role in accurately conveying numeric values in these languages, facilitating precise communication across various fields such as finance, science, statistics, and more.
