Description

U+0336 is the Unicode code point for the character "COMBINING LONG STROKE OVERLAY". This character, often used in digital typography, serves as a diacritical mark that visually extends a particular glyph or letter. It's typically employed to create a specific appearance or style by overlaying one glyph with another. The COMBINING LONG STROKE OVERLAY is most commonly used in conjunction with the "COMBINING TILDE BELOW" (U+0334) and "COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT BELOW" (U+0351), allowing for a great deal of flexibility and customization within typography. The use of this character, along with other combining characters, can help create unique or specific styles in text, enhancing readability or visual appeal in various linguistic contexts. It's worth noting that the COMBINING LONG STROKE OVERLAY, like all Unicode characters, is part of a comprehensive and internationally recognized system for encoding text, facilitating communication across cultures and languages.

How to type the ̶ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0822 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+0336. 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+0336 to binary: 00000011 00110110. 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:
