Description

U+0442 is the Unicode code point for "CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER TE" (Cyrillic Те). In digital text, this character is used as part of the Cyrillic script, which is the writing system for several languages, most prominently Russian. The Cyrillic script has its origins in the 9th century and is widely used in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. U+0442 plays a crucial role in these languages as it represents one of their essential phonemes, corresponding to the English sound "t" or "d". It's important to note that the Cyrillic script is not case-sensitive like the Latin alphabet, so there is no uppercase version of U+0442.

How to type the т symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1090 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character т has the Unicode code point U+0442. 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+0442 to binary: 00000100 01000010. 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:
