Description

U+1DEC, also known as the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH DOUBLE MIDDLE TILDE, is a Unicode character that serves a specific role in digital text. It is used in conjunction with the lowercase 'l' to create a unique typographic representation that combines the shape of the letter with two middle tildes. This combination of characters can be seen in various contexts, primarily within digital communications and documents where users may wish to express themselves or their ideas creatively or uniquely. Although its usage is relatively rare, it holds importance for those who appreciate typography or seek to add a distinctive touch to their text. The COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH DOUBLE MIDDLE TILDE is an example of how Unicode enables the representation of a wide range of characters and symbols from different cultures and languages, contributing to the diversity and richness of digital communication.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7660 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+1DEC. 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+1DEC to binary: 00011101 11101100. 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 10101100
