Description

The Unicode character U+2DF9, also known as the COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER MONOGRAPH UK, is a specialized typographical element primarily used in digital text. Its typical role is to combine with other Cyrillic characters to form complex glyphs and ligatures, enhancing the readability and aesthetics of text in languages that utilize the Cyrillic script, such as Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and others. The COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER MONOGRAPH UK is a part of the extended Cyrillic block and plays a crucial role in digital typography for these languages. As a result, it provides an essential tool for accurate representation of linguistic features and cultural expressions within the context of the Cyrillic script.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11769 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+2DF9. 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+2DF9 to binary: 00101101 11111001. 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 10111001
