Description

The Unicode character U+0A54 (CHARACTER 0A54) holds significance as the Cyrillic Capital Letter Schara (Ш). In digital text, it is often utilized to represent the Cyrillic alphabet in languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Serbian. This letter, Š, represents a distinct phonetic sound, typically corresponding to the English 'sh' or 'sch' sounds. The character has its roots deeply embedded in various cultural and linguistic contexts, including literature, language studies, and digital communications within these regions. Its presence in the Unicode Standard ensures compatibility and uniformity across diverse platforms, thereby enhancing communication and information exchange.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2644 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+0A54. 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+0A54 to binary: 00001010 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:
    11100000 10101001 10010100
