Description

The Unicode character U+0319, known as the COMBINING RIGHT TACK BELOW, is a typographical element primarily used in digital text to indicate the presence of a right tack below specific characters or symbols. Its application is typically seen in Greek texts where it serves to mark the position of an unjoined letter within a word. This usage helps to maintain consistency and clarity when dealing with ligatures or other combined character forms. Additionally, it can be employed as a decorative element in typography to add a unique visual touch to certain designs. Though this character may not play a significant role in every linguistic or cultural context, its presence in the Unicode standard demonstrates the extensive versatility and customization options available for digital text formatting.

How to type the ̙ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0793 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+0319. 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+0319 to binary: 00000011 00011001. 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:
