Description

The Unicode character U+0EDB holds a significant role within the realm of typography and digital text representation. Primarily employed as a diacritical mark, it is used to indicate specific pronunciation or grammatical variations in certain languages, particularly those belonging to the Slavic family. One notable example is its usage in Serbian Cyrillic, where U+0EDB (character 0EDB) serves as a palatalization indicator for consonants, altering their pronunciation and meaning. This diacritical mark plays an essential role in maintaining the linguistic integrity of these languages by accurately conveying their nuanced phonetic structures. Overall, U+0EDB is a vital element in the field of typography, ensuring clear communication and preserving cultural identities within digital texts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3803 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+0EDB. 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+0EDB to binary: 00001110 11011011. 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 10111011 10011011
