Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+05CB. 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+05CB to binary:
00000101 11001011. 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:
11010111 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+05CB is a unique symbol with significant cultural, linguistic, and technical implications. This specific code point represents the Cyrillic letter "І" (U+05CB), commonly known as "Iotified I". It serves a vital role in digital text, particularly in languages like Ukrainian, where it's used to represent the sound /i/ with a palatalized consonant. In the context of typography and Unicode standards, U+05CB is part of the Cyrillic script block, a family of scripts that includes many other important languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Belarusian. The use of this character in text is crucial for preserving the correct pronunciation and meaning of words in these languages. Additionally, its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for accurate and consistent representation across various digital platforms, making it an essential part of modern typography and digital communication.
