Description

U+0BE2 is a rare and specialized character in the Unicode system, representing the Cyrillic Capital Letter Yerevan (Ч). Typically used in digital text, it plays a significant role in the Armenian language, specifically in transcribing Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia. The character was introduced in Unicode version 3.0 and has since been a crucial element for accurate representation and communication within the Armenian linguistic context. As the name suggests, it is often used to represent geographical locations, historical events, and cultural references associated with Yerevan. In technical terms, U+0BE2 maintains its uniqueness by adhering to the standards of Cyrillic script encoding in Unicode, which allows for consistent and precise representation across various digital platforms and applications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3042 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+0BE2. 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+0BE2 to binary: 00001011 11100010. 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 10100010
