Description

U+2C54, also known as the Glagolitic Small Letter Small Yus, is a typographical character predominantly used in digital text for its role within the Glagolitic script. This ancient writing system originated from the 9th century and was mainly utilized for Slavonic languages such as Old Church Slavonic. The Glagolitic script has a rich cultural significance, as it played an essential part in the spread of Christianity across Eastern Europe. U+2C54, specifically, represents the lowercase version of the letter "Yus" (Ы) and holds importance in maintaining the uniqueness and authenticity of historical texts. In modern digital typography, this character is used to preserve traditional Glagolitic literature, allowing readers access to a valuable piece of Slavonic linguistic history.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11348 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+2C54. 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+2C54 to binary: 00101100 01010100. 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 10010100
