Description

U+2C23, the Glagolitic Capital Letter Yu, is a significant character within the Unicode Standard, representing the 10th letter of the Glagolitic alphabet. This ancient script originated in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century and played a crucial role in the spread of Christianity in Eastern Europe. In digital text, U+2C23 is primarily used to encode and display Glagolitic text for the purposes of linguistic research, historical studies, and preserving cultural heritage. The character carries substantial importance in Slavic linguistics, as it contributes to the understanding of early Slavonic languages and their evolutions over time.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11299 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+2C23. 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+2C23 to binary: 00101100 00100011. 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 10100011
