Description

The Unicode character U+030E, known as the COMBINING DOUBLE VERTICAL LINE ABOVE, is a diacritical mark used in digital typography. Its primary role is to serve as an accent or modifier above another character, typically a letter, to convey additional meaning, pronunciation, or distinction. This particular diacritic is often employed in various languages and scripts that require such accents for proper representation of their respective characters. While the COMBINING DOUBLE VERTICAL LINE ABOVE may not have a significant cultural impact on its own, it contributes to accurate representation and interpretation of text in languages that utilize double vertical lines as diacritics. As part of the Unicode Standard, this character ensures consistency and compatibility across different platforms, devices, and software applications, thus facilitating seamless communication and preservation of linguistic nuances in a digitally connected world.

How to type the ̎ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0782 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+030E. 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+030E to binary: 00000011 00001110. 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:
