Description

The Unicode character U+0481 represents the Cyrillic small letter KOPPA (គ). This character is primarily used in digital texts to convey the sound value "k" in Cyrillic alphabets, such as Russian, Belarusian, and Bulgarian. In these languages, it follows the small letter SHORT U (U+047A) and precedes the small letter YERU (U+0483). The KOPPA letter has a notable cultural, linguistic, and technical context, as it is essential for accurate transcription and translation of texts in these languages. It plays a crucial role in preserving the phonetic and orthographic structure of these languages, which are written from left to right. U+0481 Cyrillic small letter KOPPA is an indispensable component of modern typography and digital text processing systems that support these languages.

How to type the ҁ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1153 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ҁ has the Unicode code point U+0481. 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+0481 to binary: 00000100 10000001. 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:
