Description

The Unicode character U+04EE, known as CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER U WITH MACRON, plays a significant role in digital text representation, particularly in languages using the Cyrillic script such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. It is used to represent the letter "У" (U) with a macron, or horizontal line over it, which can alter the pronunciation of the letter or denote a long vowel sound. This character contributes to the accuracy and intelligibility of digital text in these languages by ensuring proper representation of the intended sounds and words. The U+04EE Cyrillic Capital Letter U With Macron reflects the importance of diacritical marks in many written languages, emphasizing the distinction between similar-looking letters or indicating specific phonetic qualities.

How to type the Ӯ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1262 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ӯ has the Unicode code point U+04EE. 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+04EE to binary: 00000100 11101110. 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:
