Description

The Unicode character U+00D0 (codepoint 00D0, char: Ð, code: 208) is recognized as the Latin Capital Letter Eth (Ẽ). This letter, specifically, belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (678), which comprises characters ranging from 128 to 255 and serves various text formatting and typography purposes. In digital text, the Eth (Ẽ) plays a crucial role primarily in Icelandic language representation. Its accurate use ensures proper spelling and pronunciation of texts written in this language, preserving linguistic integrity and facilitating clear communication. Although its usage is predominantly limited to Icelandic, where it replaces the English letter 'E', it can also be found in other languages influenced by or borrowing from Icelandic. The Eth (Ẽ) contributes significantly to typography, helping differentiate words and maintaining linguistic authenticity across digital documents. This character lies within the Basic Multilingual Plane (0), a region containing most common characters used in written communication worldwide.

How to type the Ð symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0208 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character Ð has the Unicode code point U+00D0. 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+00D0 to binary: 11010000. 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:
