Description

The Unicode character U+0EE2 represents the letter "Ų" (uppercase) and "ų" (lowercase). This character is primarily used in the Lithuanian, Latvian, Old Church Slavic, and Old Prussian languages, where it denotes a unique phoneme or sound. In digital text, this character serves to accurately represent these distinct sounds, maintaining linguistic integrity and facilitating accurate communication across language barriers. As an example, in Lithuanian, the uppercase "Ų" is used at the beginning of words, while the lowercase "ų" is used within words. The character U+0EE2 plays a crucial role in preserving the uniqueness of these languages and enabling their proper representation in digital text formats.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3810 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+0EE2. 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+0EE2 to binary: 00001110 11100010. 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 10100010
