Description

U+2DE1 is the Unicode character code for the COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER VE (ᰱ). This character plays a vital role in digital text by allowing the combination of Cyrillic letters, particularly in languages such as Ukrainian and Belarusian. Typically, it is used to create diacritical marks on other Cyrillic characters, which are essential for expressing specific phonetic or grammatical features in these languages. The COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER VE contributes significantly to the accuracy and comprehensibility of text in these regions, facilitating communication and maintaining linguistic traditions. It is an integral part of the Unicode Standard, a system designed to represent characters from all written languages across the world, promoting global digital communication and preserving cultural diversity.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11745 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+2DE1. 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+2DE1 to binary: 00101101 11100001. 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 10100001
