Description

The Unicode character U+04E4 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter I with Diaeresis (И), a letter commonly used in various Slavic languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, and Macedonian. This letter typically appears in digital text to convey the pronunciation of the 'ee' sound, where an I is followed by two vertical dots (called a diaeresis or umlaut). The Cyrillic script originated in the 9th century AD in Eastern Europe and has been widely used for over a millennium. The character U+04E4 plays a crucial role in preserving linguistic accuracy and cultural heritage, as it enables digital communication of specific phonetic nuances that are otherwise difficult to express using Latin-based scripts.

How to type the Ӥ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1252 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ӥ has the Unicode code point U+04E4. 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+04E4 to binary: 00000100 11100100. 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:
