Description

The Unicode character U+045E represents the Cyrillic small letter short u (ᰚ). This symbol is primarily used in digital texts for its role in the Russian language and other Slavic languages that utilize the Cyrillic script. It belongs to a group of characters that are essential for accurate and precise representation of these languages online and in software applications. The Cyrillic script, which originated from the Greek alphabet, has been widely adopted by various Eastern European countries including Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Bulgaria. Thus, understanding the significance and usage of U+045E is vital for those working with these languages or creating tools to support them.

How to type the ў symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1118 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ў has the Unicode code point U+045E. 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+045E to binary: 00000100 01011110. 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:
