Description

U+0413, the Cyrillic Capital Letter Ghe, is a character in the Unicode Standard that plays a significant role in digital texts representing the Russian language and other Slavic languages using the Cyrillic script. This letter is utilized for various purposes, including formal written communication, literature, technical documentation, and more. The character's unique shape, which resembles a combination of the Latin letters "g" and "h," is derived from its historical origins in the early Cyrillic alphabet, where it represented the same sound as the Greek letter gamma (Γ). In contemporary usage, U+0413 represents the voiced velar plosive sound /ɡ/. The Cyrillic Capital Letter Ghe is an essential part of the Russian language and serves a vital function in preserving linguistic heritage and cultural identity.

How to type the Г symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1043 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Г has the Unicode code point U+0413. 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+0413 to binary: 00000100 00010011. 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 10010011
