Computing Codes
Uniquely, Unicode provides separate code-points for the Old Cyrillic and civil script forms of this letter; other encodings do not. A number of Old Cyrillic fonts developed before the publication of Unicode 5.1 placed Iotified A Ꙗ ꙗ at the code points for Я я U+042F, U+044F; this was strictly incorrect even then (since ꙗ was not yet included in Unicode, it should have been placed in the Private Use Area); since Unicode 5.1 the code-points for Iotified A Ꙗ ꙗ are U+A656, U+A657 and it should not be encoded anywhere else.
Ya is encoded as follows:
| character | Я | я | ||
| Unicode name | ||||
| character encoding | decimal | hex | decimal | hex |
| Unicode | 1071 | 042F | 1103 | 044F |
| UTF-8 | 208 175 | D0 AF | 209 143 | D1 8F |
| Numeric character reference | Я | Я | я | я |
| KOI8-R and KOI8-U | 241 | F1 | 209 | D1 |
| Code page 855 | 224 | E0 | 222 | DE |
| Code page 866 | 159 | 9F | 239 | EF |
| Windows-1251 | 223 | DF | 255 | FF |
| ISO-8859-5 | 207 | CF | 239 | EF |
| Macintosh Cyrillic | 159 | 9F | 223 | DF |

Famous quotes containing the word codes:
“Thou hast a voice, great Mountain, to repeal
Large codes of fraud and woe; not understood
By all, but which the wise, and great, and good
Interpret, or make felt, or deeply feel.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
