Description

The Unicode character U+0EE6 holds a significant position in digital text as it represents the Cyrillic capital letter "Ё". This character is predominantly used in the Russian language to represent the soft sign, which indicates a palatalization of the preceding consonant. Its typical usage lies in transcribing and transliterating words from languages that use the Cyrillic script, including Russian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian, and others. The character "Ё" is an essential element in the orthography of these languages, ensuring accurate pronunciation and comprehension for both native speakers and learners. In terms of technical context, U+0EE6 is part of the Cyrillic script block within Unicode, a widely used encoding system that standardizes text representation across different platforms and devices. This character's role highlights the flexibility and inclusivity of the Unicode system in representing diverse scripts from around the world.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3814 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+0EE6. 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+0EE6 to binary: 00001110 11100110. 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 10111011 10100110
