0x41A

0x41A is a hexadecimal notation that corresponds to the Unicode code point U+041A, the Cyrillic capital letter KA. In many contexts, the leading zero is omitted, so 0x41A is treated as the same point as 0x041A.

Code point and classification

U+041A belongs to the Cyrillic block in the Unicode standard. Its official name is CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER KA, a letter used in several languages that employ the Cyrillic script, including Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Serbian. The character is the uppercase form of the sound /ka/ and is visually similar to the Latin letter K, though it represents a distinct alphabet.

Appearance and usage

The glyph commonly used for this code point is identical in appearance to the Latin K but serves a different phonetic and orthographic role within Cyrillic alphabets. It is used to spell words with the /k/ sound, and its casing rules mirror those of the Latin alphabet in most orthographies that use Cyrillic scripts.

Encoding and representation

In UTF-8, U+041A is encoded as two bytes: D0 9A. In UTF-16, it appears as 04 1A in big-endian form (and 1A 04 in little-endian). In HTML, it can be referenced as К or К.

Notes

0x41A is primarily encountered in computing and typography as a hex representation of the Unicode code point. It does not denote a separate character beyond the Cyrillic capital letter KA.
