Description

The Unicode character U+0341 represents the COMBINING ACUTE TONE MARK, which is a typographical element used in digital text to indicate an acute accent. Its primary role is to modify letters or syllables in various writing systems, primarily Latin-based languages such as Spanish and French. By applying this character mark, it helps to correctly pronounce words by highlighting the stress on specific syllables. In linguistic terms, the COMBINING ACUTE TONE MARK signifies an upward inflection of the sound, which often denotes emphasis or a change in meaning. However, its usage should be done with care, as improper application can lead to misinterpretation or confusion. The COMBINING ACUTE TONE MARK is part of the Unicode Standard, ensuring consistency and compatibility across various software platforms and devices, thereby facilitating seamless communication across different regions and cultures.

How to type the ́ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0833 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+0341. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0080 to 0x07ff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format: 110xxxxx 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+0341 to binary: 00000011 01000001. 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:
