Description

U+0405 is a character in the Cyrillic script that represents the letter DZE (Д). It is used extensively in Russian and other Slavic languages as part of their alphabets. In digital text, it serves as a basic building block for constructing words and phrases according to the grammar rules of these languages. The Cyrillic script has its origins in the 9th century when Saints Constantine and Methodius created it for their missionary work among the Slavs, using Greek models as the basis. This letter DZE is a unique element of the Cyrillic alphabet, representing a sound that does not exist in the Latin or Greek scripts. It contributes to the richness of these languages' phonetic and phonological characteristics, which play an essential role in their cultural identity and linguistic diversity.

How to type the Ѕ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1029 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ѕ has the Unicode code point U+0405. 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+0405 to binary: 00000100 00000101. 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:
