Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0B91. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+0B91 to binary:
00001011 10010001. 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:
11100000 10101110 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+0B91 represents the Cyrillic letter "Ё" (YO). This character is primarily used in Russian and other Slavic languages that employ the Cyrillic script, such as Ukrainian and Belarusian. In digital text, it serves to distinguish between the soft sign "ь" and the hard sign "Ё". The soft sign indicates a palatalized consonant, while the hard sign denotes a separate phoneme not found in other Slavic languages. U+0B91's usage is essential for accurate transcription of certain Russian words and names, as it represents a unique sound not present in other Cyrillic scripts. The character holds cultural significance, as it is used in official publications and legal documents in countries where Russian is an official language.
