Description

The Unicode character U+2C09 is the Glagolitic Capital Letter Izhitsa (Г), a letter from the ancient Glagolitic alphabet. First developed in the 9th century by the Slavic Apostles Cyril and Methodius, this script was primarily used for liturgical texts within the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Glagolitic alphabet is of immense cultural significance as it played a crucial role in the preservation and transmission of Slavic literature, especially Old Church Slavonic. In digital text, U+2C09 serves to represent and maintain the linguistic heritage of this script within the modern Unicode Standard, ensuring that the rich history and tradition of Glagolitic writing are preserved for future generations.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11273 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+2C09. 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+2C09 to binary: 00101100 00001001. 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 10001001
