Description

The Unicode character U+04EC, known as CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER E WITH DIAERESIS, is a crucial component in the Cyrillic script used predominantly for Russian and other Eastern European languages. This character has a vital role in digital text, enabling accurate representation of words that contain the letter 'E' with a diaeresis (also known as an umlaut) in languages using the Cyrillic alphabet. The diaeresis serves to indicate a distinct pronunciation or a change in the typical sound of the letter 'E'. The usage of this character is primarily observed in Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, and other Slavic and Eastern European languages that utilize the Cyrillic script system. It is essential for accurate translation and communication, as it contributes to the distinction between words with different meanings or pronunciations in these languages.

How to type the Ӭ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1260 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ӭ has the Unicode code point U+04EC. 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+04EC to binary: 00000100 11101100. 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:
