Description

The Unicode character U+2C2F, known as GLAGOLITIC CAPITAL LETTER CAUDATE CHRIVI, holds a significant position in the realm of typography and digital text. It represents a letter from the Glagolitic script, which is one of the earliest writing systems used for the Slavic languages and was created in the 9th century by the Byzantine missionaries Cyril and Methodius. U+2C2F is part of the Glagolitic block (U+2C00-U+2C5F) that consists of 36 characters, which are used primarily for encoding digital text in the Slavonic languages such as Old Church Slavonic, Old Bulgarian, and Old Croatian. This character has a crucial role in preserving the linguistic and cultural heritage of these ancient languages by enabling accurate representation and communication through digital means.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11311 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+2C2F. 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+2C2F to binary: 00101100 00101111. 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:
    11100010 10110000 10101111
