Description

The Unicode character U+1259 is a Cyrillic letter known as "Д" (capital "Dze"). It is predominantly used in digital text for various Cyrillic alphabet languages, such as Russian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, and Serbian. This particular character holds significant importance in these languages due to its unique phonetic properties, representing a voiced palatal plosive sound that distinctly differentiates it from other Cyrillic letters. U+1259 has been widely adopted in modern computer systems and software since the introduction of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character in all written languages worldwide. This standardization has facilitated seamless communication and information exchange across diverse linguistic contexts, further enhancing global digital text interaction.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4697 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character has the Unicode code point U+1259. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+1259 to binary: 00010010 01011001. 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:
    11100001 10001001 10011001
