Description

U+0427 is a Unicode character representing the Cyrillic Capital Letter Che (Ч). It holds a significant position in digital text as it is one of the 33 letters in the modern Russian alphabet, as well as being used in other Slavic languages such as Bulgarian and Serbian. The Cyrillic script has its origins in the 9th century when Saints Cyril and Methodius created an alphabet to transcribe the Slavonic language, which later evolved into a number of distinct languages spoken across Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Today, the Cyrillic script is used by approximately 250 million people worldwide, making it one of the most widely-used writing systems. The Che character specifically represents the voiceless postalveolar affricate /tʃ/, which is a crucial element in various phonological studies and linguistic research. In typography, the Cyrillic Capital Letter Che is often used alongside other Cyrillic letters to form words and sentences that convey cultural, historical, and literary significance across many regional texts and publications.

How to type the Ч symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1063 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ч has the Unicode code point U+0427. 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+0427 to binary: 00000100 00100111. 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:
    11010000 10100111
