Description

The Unicode character U+0326, known as the COMBINING COMMA BELOW, is a diacritical mark primarily used in digital text to modify certain characters by adding a comma-like symbol below them. It plays a crucial role in various languages and scripts that require additional punctuation or phonetic marks for clarity. The COMBINING COMMA BELOW has cultural and linguistic significance, as it helps distinguish specific pronunciation or meaning in certain language contexts. It is not meant to be used independently but in combination with other characters to represent a unique letter or sound. The usage of this character is mostly found in scripts like the Cyrillic, Greek, Armenian, Hebrew, and Arabic alphabets, among others. The COMBINING COMMA BELOW contributes to the richness and diversity of written languages, enabling more accurate representation of sounds and facilitating communication across different linguistic regions.

How to type the ̦ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0806 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+0326. 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+0326 to binary: 00000011 00100110. 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:
