Russian in Unicode

Unicode was created to be able to represent any character of any language imaginable. In this way, using Unicode, any Russian character can be created on any keyboard.

The Russian letter д e.g. corresponds to the value 0434 in Unicode. In the left table you will find the Unicode values for all cyrillic characters of the Russian alphabet (Azbuka).

How to create a Russian letter with Unicode

For example to create д (the large letter D) follow these steps:

• Press at the same time Ctrl + Shift + u (=> an underlined u appears), then
• enter the Unicode value from the table (e.g. 0434), then
• press the enter key (=> д appears)

It's not necessary to enter the leading zeros. The letters in Unicode can be entered in upper cased or lower cased letters.
