Description

The Unicode character U+040D, Cyrillic Capital Letter I with Grave (ꙉ), is a letter from the Cyrillic script that is primarily used in Russian typography. This unique character features an acute accent, or grave, on the top left part of the letter I, which distinguishes it from the standard Cyrillic capital I (У+0418). The presence of this accent signifies a change in pronunciation, as the grave indicates that the preceding vowel should be pronounced with a stressed, fronted sound. As an essential component of the Russian language and other Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet, U+040D plays a vital role in digital text communication. This character is widely used in various digital platforms such as websites, documents, and software applications to accurately represent the intended pronunciation and meaning of words in the Russian language and its related dialects.

How to type the Ѝ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1037 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ѝ has the Unicode code point U+040D. 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+040D to binary: 00000100 00001101. 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:
