Description

U+0426 is the Unicode code point for Cyrillic Capital Letter Tse (Т), a character primarily used in digital texts written in the Russian and other Slavic languages that employ the Cyrillic script. The Cyrillic script, which originated in the 9th century, is used by various Eastern European and Central Asian languages, including Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian, and more. Tse (Т) is a crucial element of these languages, serving as a phonetic symbol for the specific sound in speech and playing a significant role in linguistic and cultural expression. The Cyrillic Capital Letter Tse, like other characters in the Cyrillic alphabet, contributes to the rich heritage and diversity of these languages and cultures. In digital communication, the use of U+0426 ensures accurate representation and encoding of text in various applications, software, and online platforms that support the Cyrillic script.

How to type the Ц symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1062 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ц has the Unicode code point U+0426. 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+0426 to binary: 00000100 00100110. 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:
