Description

U+2DED, also known as the COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER ES, is a unique Unicode character that plays a significant role in digital text, specifically in the realm of typography and language processing. It is used to combine with uppercase or lowercase Cyrillic letters in order to create specific accented characters, such as Ѓ (Cyrillic Capital Letter Ghe) and Ѡ (Cyrillic Letter Yery), which are important in various Slavic languages like Macedonian and Old Church Slavonic. This character is essential for accurate representation of these languages in digital communication and document processing, ensuring that their unique cultural nuances are preserved. The COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER ES contributes to the richness and diversity of global communication by supporting the use of multiple scripts within a single text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11757 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+2DED. 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+2DED to binary: 00101101 11101101. 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 10101101
