Description

U+0536, ARMENIAN CAPITAL LETTER ZA, is a significant character in the Armenian alphabet, which is crucial for digital text representation in the Armenian language. This letter plays an integral role in accurately conveying the meaning and context of written content in the language. In its typical usage or role in digital text, ARMENIAN CAPITAL LETTER ZA represents a consonant sound "z" and is one among 36 letters used to form words in Armenian script. The letter is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character, symbol, or emoji, thereby enabling reliable communication and data exchange across different systems and applications. In terms of cultural significance, the Armenian alphabet is attributed to Mesrop Mashtots, an Armenian monk, and scholar who developed it in the 5th century AD. This script played a crucial role in preserving and transmitting the Armenian language, history, and culture throughout centuries.

How to type the Զ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1334 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character Զ has the Unicode code point U+0536. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0080 to 0x07ff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+0536 to binary: 00000101 00110110. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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:
