Description

The Unicode character U+0BD8 represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter YERU (Ye), which is used in various Eastern European languages such as Belarusian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tatar, Turkmen, and Uzbek. This letter, characterized by its distinct "Y" shape with a downward-pointing hook at the bottom, has a significant role in digital text systems, where it enables accurate representation of these languages in electronic media. Its presence in Unicode ensures that the Cyrillic script can be consistently encoded, transmitted, and displayed across different platforms and devices.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3032 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+0BD8. 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+0BD8 to binary: 00001011 11011000. 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 10101111 10011000
