Description

U+0562 is the Unicode representation for the Armenian Small Letter Ben (՚), a character from the Armenian alphabet. In digital text, this glyph plays a crucial role in accurately representing Armenian language content, enabling clear communication and preservation of linguistic integrity. The Armenian alphabet, which includes 36 letters, is an abugida writing system that has been used since the 5th century. This script was introduced by Mesrop Mashtots, a scholar and cleric credited with standardizing the Armenian language, fostering its development and cultural expression. U+0562 contributes to this rich linguistic heritage, facilitating the digital representation of the unique sounds and phonetics of the Armenian language. As a result, U+0562 remains an essential element in modern computing systems for accurate and accessible Armenian text processing and presentation.

How to type the բ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1378 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character բ has the Unicode code point U+0562. 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+0562 to binary: 00000101 01100010. 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:
