Description

The Unicode character U+0CD9 is known as the MODIFIER LETTER TILDE O (LATIN SMALL LETTER TILDE WITH STROKE). This typographical symbol primarily serves a functional role in digital text, particularly in linguistic and cultural contexts where it is used to modify certain letters by adding an accent. In particular, the character is used to provide the stroke-through accent for the letter 'o' in the Esperanto language, as well as in other languages that utilize the Latin script with additional diacritics. The U+0CD9 character helps convey important linguistic nuances and variations in pronunciation, tone, or meaning. Although its usage may be less common in everyday digital text, it plays a crucial role in accurately representing various languages and dialects where such accents are essential to the proper understanding of words and phrases.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3289 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+0CD9. 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+0CD9 to binary: 00001100 11011001. 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 10110011 10011001
