Description

U+0366, the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER O, is a typographic character used primarily in digital text for combining with other letters to form diacritical marks or special characters. This Unicode character does not stand alone but serves as a base element for creating accented characters, such as "ó" or "õ". The COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER O is often used in various languages and scripts that require specific accentuations or pronunciation distinctions. It plays an essential role in the accurate representation of text for linguistic correctness and cultural sensitivity.

How to type the ͦ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0870 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+0366. 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+0366 to binary: 00000011 01100110. 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:
