Description

U+1DD7 (COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER C CEDILLA) is a typographical character used in digital text to modify the appearance of lowercase letters in various languages. Its primary role is to indicate a cedilla, which is a diacritical mark placed on the letter 'c' or 'C'. The cedilla is represented by the character 'Ç' (U+00E7) or the combination of the lowercase 'c' with the combining cedilla. This character is widely used in languages such as Portuguese, French, and Catalan, where it serves to differentiate between the pronunciation of the letter 'ç' and the combination of 's' followed by a comma or apostrophe. In digital text, the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER C CEDILLA is applied as part of the Unicode Standard, which ensures consistency in character encoding across different languages and platforms.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7639 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+1DD7. 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+1DD7 to binary: 00011101 11010111. 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 10010111
