Description

U+0452 is a character in the Cyrillic script known as "CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER DJE." This letter is an essential component of various Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet, such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Serbian. The Cyrillic script originated in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century and has since evolved to include numerous modifications and additional characters. In digital text, U+0452 is used to represent the phoneme /ʑ/, a voiced postalveolar fricative that plays a vital role in these languages' pronunciation systems. The Cyrillic script's use in diverse cultures and geographic regions has contributed to its status as one of the most widely spoken writing systems globally, making U+0452 an indispensable character for accurate language representation.

How to type the ђ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1106 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ђ has the Unicode code point U+0452. 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+0452 to binary: 00000100 01010010. 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:
