Description

The Unicode character U+0328 is known as the COMBINING OGONEK. This typographical element is primarily used in digital text to denote a specific characteristic in certain alphabetic scripts, particularly those of Slavic origin. Its role is to represent an ogonek, which is a diacritical mark that appears under or above the base character and denotes a distinct sound change or modification. The ogonek serves as an essential component in various languages such as Polish, Belarusian, and Old Church Slavonic, where it influences pronunciation by indicating a palatalization or labialization of consonants. By accurately applying the COMBINING OGONEK character, digital text can more faithfully represent these linguistic nuances, preserving cultural and linguistic integrity in transcription and translation processes.

How to type the ̨ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0808 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+0328. 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+0328 to binary: 00000011 00101000. 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:
