Description

U+07B7 is a character in the Unicode Standard, which represents the Cyrillic Capital Letter Yeru (ʙ). It is primarily used in digital text for various languages, such as Abkhaz and Ossetian. In these languages, it holds a significant role in conveying phonetic sounds and meaning. The Cyrillic script, of which this character is a part, has a rich history dating back to the 9th century when it was developed from the Greek alphabet by the Slavic peoples. U+07B7 contributes to the cultural and linguistic heritage of these regions, allowing for accurate representation and communication in digital text. Its precise use in these languages emphasizes the importance of Unicode in preserving and promoting diverse scripts and dialects around the world.

How to type the ޷ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1975 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+07B7. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0080 to 0x07ff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format: 110xxxxx 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+07B7 to binary: 00000111 10110111. 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:
