Description

U+2C1A Glagolitic Capital Letter Pe is a typographical character derived from the Glagolitic script, which was the first alphabet used for written Slavic languages. This character plays a vital role in digital text by representing the Glagolitic capital letter "П" or "Pe", one of the 40 letters in this ancient writing system. The Glagolitic script, created in the 9th century, is associated with Saints Cyril and Methodius, who were instrumental in spreading Christianity among Slavic peoples. In contemporary digital text usage, U+2C1A facilitates accurate representation of texts in Old Church Slavonic or other Glagolitic-based languages, allowing for a more authentic and culturally sensitive communication. The character is vital for scholars, historians, and linguists who study the history and evolution of Slavic languages and scripts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11290 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+2C1A. 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+2C1A to binary: 00101100 00011010. 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 10011010
