Description

U+045B, also known as Cyrillic Small Letter Tshe, is a character within the Unicode standard that represents a letter in the Russian alphabet and other Slavic languages. In digital text, it typically serves as a unique identifier or marker for words or phrases in these languages, aiding in accurate language translation and interpretation. The Cyrillic script has its roots in the Byzantine Empire, and the Tshe character is particularly notable due to its distinct shape, which is slightly more complex than other Cyrillic letters. It is part of the larger orthographic system used for various Slavic languages, including Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, and Macedonian. The accurate use of this character and its counterparts ensures correct communication and preservation of cultural context in digital texts.

How to type the ћ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1115 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ћ has the Unicode code point U+045B. 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+045B to binary: 00000100 01011011. 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:
