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:
“We must trust infinitely to the beneficent necessity which shines through all laws. Human nature expresses itself in them as characteristically as in statues, or songs, or railroads, and an abstract of the codes of nations would be an abstract of the common conscience.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
