Description

The Unicode character U+04D2 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter A with Diaeresis (А). This character is a part of the Cyrillic script, which is primarily used in Russian and several other Slavic languages. In digital text, U+04D2 is used to display the sound "a" with a specific pronunciation feature - the diaeresis, or umlaut (ӑ), indicates that the "a" should be pronounced as "ə" in English, similar to the sound of the letter "uh". The Cyrillic script has been in use since the 9th century and plays an essential role in preserving cultural heritage and enabling communication for millions of speakers worldwide. Its unique features make it a valuable addition to the Unicode standard, ensuring accurate representation of various languages and dialects in digital environments.

How to type the Ӓ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1234 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ӓ has the Unicode code point U+04D2. 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+04D2 to binary: 00000100 11010010. 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:
    11010011 10010010
