Description

The Unicode character U+030B, COMBINING DOUBLE ACUTE ACCENT, serves a specific function within the realm of typography and digital text. Its primary purpose is to combine with other characters to form accented letters in certain languages. It is not meant for standalone usage, as it does not represent a distinct character by itself. The COMBINING DOUBLE ACUTE ACCENT is often employed in Latin-script languages that utilize diacritical marks, such as Czech or Slovak, to modify the pronunciation or meaning of a base letter. When applied to a character, the COMBINING DOUBLE ACUTE ACCENT gives it an acute accent with a double bar, creating a distinct sound or meaning in the context of that language. Therefore, its role is more technical and linguistic rather than cultural. In terms of digital text, this Unicode character adheres to the principles of combining characters and diacritical marks, ensuring clarity and accuracy in transcription across different languages.

How to type the ̋ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0779 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+030B. 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+030B to binary: 00000011 00001011. 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:
