Description

U+1D78, the Modifier Letter Cyrillic EN, is a Unicode character that plays an important role in digital typography and linguistics. It serves as a combining character to modify the appearance of other Cyrillic letters, specifically the 'EN' sequence. This modifier letter allows for variations in the rendering of certain Cyrillic characters, adding nuances to their visual representation. While its use may be less common compared to other Unicode characters, it holds significance within the realm of digital text and typography, particularly for languages that utilize the Cyrillic script. The Modifier Letter Cyrillic EN contributes to preserving the cultural and linguistic heritage of these languages by providing a tool that enhances their graphical representation in digital formats.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7544 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+1D78. 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+1D78 to binary: 00011101 01111000. 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:
    11100001 10110101 10111000
