Description

The Unicode character U+0441 represents the Cyrillic small letter es (Э), a letter in the Cyrillic script used primarily for the Russian and other Slavic languages. In digital text, this character serves as an essential element for accurately transcribing and translating words from these languages into written form. As part of the Cyrillic script, which originated in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century, the Es character holds significant cultural and linguistic value. The Cyrillic alphabet has been adapted and expanded to create various scripts for different languages, making U+0441 an indispensable component in digital communication and text processing for these languages.

How to type the с symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1089 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character с has the Unicode code point U+0441. 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+0441 to binary: 00000100 01000001. 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:
