Description

U+0415, the Cyrillic Capital Letter IE, is a vital character in the Unicode Standard. It primarily serves as a key component in digital text for languages that use the Cyrillic script, such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. In these contexts, it represents the voiced palatal fricative consonant sound /j/. The Cyrillic script has historical roots dating back to the 9th century, and its evolution into various forms reflects the cultural and linguistic diversity of Slavic-speaking regions. Today, the IE character remains essential for maintaining accurate communication in these languages and supporting their respective writing systems in digital environments.

How to type the Е symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1045 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Е has the Unicode code point U+0415. 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+0415 to binary: 00000100 00010101. 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 10010101
