Description

The Unicode character U+2C37, known as GLAGOLITIC SMALL LETTER DZELO, is a crucial component of the Glagolitic script, an early Slavonic alphabet used primarily for writing Old Church Slavonic. It plays a vital role in digital text representation by allowing users to accurately encode and display text in this historic script. The Glagolitic script has immense cultural significance, as it was developed in the 9th century by the Byzantine-Bulgarian missionary Saint Cyril, making it one of the earliest known Slavonic writing systems. Its use was widespread throughout Eastern Europe, and it remains a symbol of the rich linguistic heritage of the region. In contemporary digital text, U+2C37 serves as an essential tool for preserving this historical script and promoting cultural understanding and appreciation for Glagolitic literature.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11319 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+2C37. 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+2C37 to binary: 00101100 00110111. 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 10110111
