Description

U+1DD5, commonly known as the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER AO, is a typographical character used in digital text. Its primary role is to combine with other characters, especially uppercase Latin letters like "A", to create accented versions of those characters, such as "Á". The COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER AO contributes to the linguistic diversity of text by enabling the representation of various languages that utilize accent marks for their written forms. This Unicode character is essential in technical contexts where accurate and precise communication of accented letters is crucial, such as in programming, documentation, and web development. As a foundational element in typography and digital text representation, U+1DD5 plays an important role in facilitating cross-cultural understanding and communication online.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7637 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+1DD5. 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+1DD5 to binary: 00011101 11010101. 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 10110111 10010101
