Description

The Unicode character U+0335 is known as the COMBINING SHORT STROKE OVERLAY. This typographical element is used in digital text to create a visual effect where a thin, short vertical line is placed above another character or symbol. Its primary purpose is to enhance the appearance of text by adding decorative elements, often seen in custom fonts, logos, and other graphic design applications. While it may not serve a functional role in language or communication, the COMBINING SHORT STROKE OVERLAY can be a crucial tool for designers looking to add a unique flair to their work. Its versatility in various digital platforms and applications underlines its significance in modern typography.

How to type the ̵ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0821 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+0335. 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+0335 to binary: 00000011 00110101. 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:
