Description

The character U+04F1 represents the Cyrillic Small Letter U with Diacritic (У) in Unicode. This letter is primarily used in digital text for representing the sound /ʊ/ in various Slavic languages, including Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. In these languages, У serves as a vowel and plays a crucial role in forming syllables and words. The Cyrillic script, which includes У, has been widely used since the 9th century and holds significant cultural importance for various Eastern European countries. U+04F1 is considered essential for accurate digital representation of texts from these regions and helps maintain linguistic integrity when transcribing or translating between languages that use the Cyrillic script and those that do not.

How to type the ӱ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1265 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ӱ has the Unicode code point U+04F1. 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+04F1 to binary: 00000100 11110001. 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 10110001
