Description

U+0437 is a Unicode character representing the Cyrillic small letter Ze (Ц). It plays a significant role in digital texts written in Russian and other Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic script. The Cyrillic alphabet, which originated from the Greek alphabet, has been widely used for over a thousand years, contributing to the development of multiple languages, including Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Ukrainian, and many others. In linguistic contexts, Ц represents a voiceless alveolar affricate, a consonantal sound found in the phonology of several Slavic languages. In technical terms, U+0437 is an important character for accurate transcription and translation of texts written in these languages, ensuring proper representation and readability across various digital platforms and applications.

How to type the з symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1079 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character з has the Unicode code point U+0437. 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+0437 to binary: 00000100 00110111. 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:
    11010000 10110111
