Description

U+047B, the Cyrillic Small Letter Round Omega, is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, specifically designed for use in digital text. It plays a significant role in the Russian language, as well as other Slavic languages that utilize the Cyrillic alphabet. This character is notable due to its distinctive shape, which sets it apart from other letters within the alphabet. In the context of linguistics, the Cyrillic Small Letter Round Omega is used to represent the phoneme /o/ in the Russian language and its related Slavic languages. The round shape of this letter distinguishes it from other Cyrillic characters that also represent vowel sounds, such as U+0472 (CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER O) or U+0486 (CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE). The Cyrillic Small Letter Round Omega is an essential component of digital text encoding systems, ensuring that Cyrillic-based languages are accurately represented and preserved in various communication platforms. The character's inclusion in the Unicode Standard underscores the importance of promoting diversity and inclusivity within global typography and written expression.

How to type the ѻ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1147 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ѻ has the Unicode code point U+047B. 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+047B to binary: 00000100 01111011. 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:
