Description

U+1ACE (COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER INSULAR T) is a typographic character that holds significance in digital text, specifically for its role in the Insular script. The Insular script originated in Ireland and Britain during the 6th to the 9th centuries AD and was primarily used for writing Latin texts. This unique alphabet featured modified letterforms, including the Insular T. In modern typography, U+1ACE is employed as a combining character to enable the creation of traditional-style letters within digital text. It can be combined with other letters to produce authentic representations of Insular script characters, contributing to cultural preservation and historical accuracy in written works.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6862 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+1ACE. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+1ACE to binary: 00011010 11001110. 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:
    11100001 10101011 10001110
