Description

The Unicode character U+0414 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter DE (Д), a letter widely used in the Russian and other Slavic languages. This character is an essential part of digital text as it enables communication in these languages, which are spoken by millions of people across Eastern Europe and Russia. The Cyrillic script has historical significance, with its origins tracing back to the 9th century when it was developed during the Christianization of Slavs. In terms of linguistic features, the Cyrillic letter DE is a palatal consonant, and it holds a unique position in the alphabet as it forms the basis for various conjugations and declensions in Russian grammar. As an expert in Unicode and typography, I emphasize the importance of accurate representation and encoding of such characters to ensure clear communication and respect cultural diversity in digital text.

How to type the Д symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1044 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Д has the Unicode code point U+0414. 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+0414 to binary: 00000100 00010100. 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 10010100
