Description

The Unicode character U+0509, known as Cyrillic Small Letter Komi Lje, is a vital component of the Komi language's written form. This unique character plays a significant role in digital text by enabling the accurate representation and communication of ideas and information in the Komi language. As part of the Cyrillic script, U+0509 has its roots in the 1930s when it was adapted from the Latin alphabet to better represent the phonetic characteristics of the Komi language. This adaptation allowed for a more precise representation of the language's unique sounds and nuances, which were previously difficult to convey using the Latin script. Today, U+0509 remains an essential element in preserving and promoting the linguistic identity of the Komi people, as well as facilitating communication within and between different communities that speak this rare language.

How to type the ԉ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1289 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ԉ has the Unicode code point U+0509. 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+0509 to binary: 00000101 00001001. 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:
