Description

U+051C is the Unicode code point for the Cyrillic Capital Letter We (В), a character primarily used in the Russian language and other East Slavic languages such as Ukrainian and Belarusian. In digital text, this character serves its typical role of representing the initial consonant of words in these languages. The Cyrillic script, which encompasses this character, has been historically significant in many cultures due to its use in various languages throughout Eastern Europe and Russia. With its origins dating back to the 9th century, the Cyrillic script has played a critical role in preserving and transmitting cultural heritage and literary tradition. Today, U+051C remains an essential part of modern digital communication and information exchange for Russian speakers worldwide.

How to type the Ԝ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1308 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ԝ has the Unicode code point U+051C. 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+051C to binary: 00000101 00011100. 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:
