Description

U+2C47, also known as GLAGOLITIC SMALL LETTER FRITU, is a character from the Glagolitic script used primarily in the Slavic languages during the Middle Ages. It plays a significant role in digital text, particularly for those studying or preserving historical texts and cultural heritage. The Glagolitic script was developed by Saint Cyril and his students in the 9th century to translate religious texts into Slavic languages, and it predates the Cyrillic script. The Glagolitic alphabet consists of 44 letters, with U+2C47 being one of the lesser-used characters. In terms of pronunciation, GLAGOLITIC SMALL LETTER FRITU represents a consonant sound, specifically 'f' or 'v', and is often found in words that begin with these phonemes. Although it may not be commonly used in contemporary texts, its significance lies in preserving the cultural and historical context of Slavic languages during the time when Glagolitic script was prevalent.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11335 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+2C47. 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+2C47 to binary: 00101100 01000111. 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 10110001 10000111
