Description

The Unicode character U+0AC6 is known as the "Combining Character Code Point 0AC6". It plays a significant role in digital text encoding by serving as a placeholder for combining diacritical marks, which are accents and other modifiers used in various languages. This character does not represent an individual glyph or symbol but rather facilitates the combination of diacritics with base characters to form specific letters or symbols in certain alphabets. U+0AC6 is often employed in languages that rely on complex scripts, such as Georgian or Cherokee, where a particular letter may require more than one combining character for its full representation. In summary, the Unicode character U+0AC6 serves a vital function in digital text encoding by enabling the combination of diacritical marks with base characters to create distinct letters and symbols in various languages and scripts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2758 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+0AC6. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+0AC6 to binary: 00001010 11000110. 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:
    11100000 10101011 10000110
