Description

The Unicode character U+2DF5, known as the COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER ES-TE, is a specialized typographic symbol used in digital text primarily for its role within the Cyrillic script. This character has a specific application in linguistic contexts where it serves as an element of the Es-Te letter combination, which is found in various Slavic languages. Its presence allows for the accurate representation of certain phonetic and phonological characteristics inherent to these languages, thereby facilitating communication and ensuring fidelity in digital text transcription. However, its usage is relatively limited due to the specialized nature of the Es-Te combination, and it may not be widely recognized outside of specific linguistic and cultural contexts. As a result, the COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER ES-TE primarily holds technical significance within digital typography, serving as an essential component for accurate text rendering in certain Slavic languages while remaining relatively obscure in broader global communication.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11765 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+2DF5. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 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+2DF5 to binary: 00101101 11110101. 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:
    11100010 10110111 10110101
