Description

The Unicode character U+055B, known as the Armenian Emphasis Mark, plays a crucial role in the representation of Armenian texts. This specific character is employed to indicate emphasis or stress in written language, similar to italicization or bolding in English. Typically used within digital text, it serves to underscore the importance of particular words or phrases. The Armenian Emphasis Mark reflects the unique features of the Armenian script and its linguistic characteristics. As a part of the Armenian alphabet, which dates back to the 5th century AD, this character maintains cultural significance within the Armenian language and is essential for accurate and respectful digital transcriptions of traditional texts. In terms of technical context, U+055B follows the Unicode Standard, ensuring compatibility across various platforms and languages. This universality underscores the importance of maintaining and updating these standards for diverse scripts and languages.

How to type the ՛ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1371 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ՛ has the Unicode code point U+055B. 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+055B to binary: 00000101 01011011. 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:
