Description

U+04E7, Cyrillic Small Letter O with Diacritic, is a significant character in the Unicode standard, specifically within the Cyrillic script. Its primary role in digital text is to represent the sound "o" as found in various Slavic languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian, among others. The diacritic mark attached to the lower case "o" is known as a diaeresis or umlaut, which modifies the pronunciation of the letter in certain contexts. In the Cyrillic script, this character plays a crucial part in conveying accurate phonetic and grammatical information within these languages, contributing to clear communication and understanding among speakers. Its presence in digital text is fundamental for preserving linguistic integrity and ensuring cultural authenticity in written works.

How to type the ӧ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1255 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ӧ has the Unicode code point U+04E7. 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+04E7 to binary: 00000100 11100111. 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:
    11010011 10100111
