Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+05CD. 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+05CD to binary:
00000101 11001101. 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 10001101

Description
U+05CD is a Unicode character representing the Cyrillic letter "Ш" (Sha). It is commonly used in digital texts for various Slavic languages, including Russian, Bulgarian, and Serbian, among others. The Cyrillic script originated in the First Bulgarian Empire around the 9th century and has since become a crucial aspect of many Eastern European cultures. In digital text, U+05CD plays an essential role as it represents one of the 33 letters of the modern Russian alphabet. Its shape is unique and easily distinguishable due to its double vertical strokes with rounded ends. Overall, U+05CD contributes significantly to the diversity of typography and digital text representation in Eastern European languages.
