Description

The Unicode character U+0CC5 represents the Cyrillic letter "И" (lowercase). It plays a significant role in the Russian language and other Cyrillic alphabet-based languages like Bulgarian, Serbian, Macedonian, and others. The character typically appears in digital text to represent the phoneme /i/, similar to the English "I." U+0CC5, or "CHARACTER 0CC5," is part of the Extended Cyrillic block of Unicode, which was introduced to support an extensive range of characters from various Slavic and non-Slavic languages. This character's cultural and linguistic importance cannot be overstated as it enables accurate and effective communication in these languages.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3269 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+0CC5. 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+0CC5 to binary: 00001100 11000101. 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 10110011 10000101
