Description

The Unicode character U+0330 represents the COMBINING TILDE BELOW. This typographical element is primarily used to modify letters in digital text by adding a diacritical mark below them, altering their appearance and function. Typically applied in languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan, it enables users to create specific accents for certain words or names that require this unique accentuation. While its role may seem small, it is crucial for proper communication and representation of language nuances in these linguistic contexts. The COMBINING TILDE BELOW remains an essential tool for typographers and writers working with these languages, ensuring accurate and culturally appropriate character rendering.

How to type the ̰ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0816 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+0330. 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+0330 to binary: 00000011 00110000. 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:
