Description

U+049D is a Unicode character representing the Cyrillic Small Letter Ka with Vertical Stroke (ᴂ). This typographic symbol is primarily used in digital text to represent a specific letter within the Cyrillic script, which is predominantly employed for written communication in various Slavic languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Ukrainian. The presence of a vertical stroke differentiates this character from the standard Cyrillic Small Letter Ka (К), providing additional variation for typography or specific orthographic conventions within particular linguistic contexts. The character's usage is mainly confined to digital text due to its relative obscurity in everyday printed materials, reflecting its specialized role within the broader scope of Unicode and Cyrillic typography.

How to type the ҝ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1181 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ҝ has the Unicode code point U+049D. 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+049D to binary: 00000100 10011101. 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:
