Description

The character U+04CE, known as the Cyrillic Small Letter Em with Tail, plays a significant role in digital text by representing a unique letter within the Cyrillic script. This particular letter is used primarily in the Russian language and other Slavic languages that employ the Cyrillic alphabet. It has a distinctive shape characterized by its tail-like extension on the lower right side of the letter, which differentiates it from the regular "Em" character. In linguistic contexts, this Cyrillic Small Letter Em with Tail contributes to the phonetic and phonological structure of the Russian language, representing a specific sound or phoneme, and thus enabling accurate communication and expression. Furthermore, in technical contexts, the proper encoding and representation of U+04CE ensure that digital text is displayed correctly across various platforms and devices, preserving the integrity of the original language's nuances.

How to type the ӎ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1230 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ӎ has the Unicode code point U+04CE. 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+04CE to binary: 00000100 11001110. 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:
