Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+05FD. 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+05FD to binary:
00000101 11111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+05FD, also known as 'CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER SHCH', holds a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Russian language and related Slavic languages. It is often utilized in capitalizing proper nouns, words at the beginning of sentences, or for emphasis. The character represents the Cyrillic equivalent of the English letter 'SH' and is part of the Extended Cyrillic block of Unicode. In its technical context, U+05FD has a code point and can be directly referenced in programming languages when dealing with text encoding or manipulation. It also plays an important role in preserving cultural heritage through accurate digital representation of the Russian language and others that use this character set.
