Description

The character U+00D2, also known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH GRAVE, is a crucial typographical element in digital texts, primarily used to represent the capital letter "O" with an accent mark, or grave (´), above it. This specific diacritical mark is significant in various languages, such as French and Portuguese, where it signifies nasalization of the preceding vowel sound. In these languages, the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH GRAVE plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and enhancing readability. While its use may be less prevalent in English, this character remains essential within Unicode to accurately represent words from multiple languages that employ the grave accent for vowels. The LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH GRAVE is part of the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (U+0080 to U+00FF), a collection of 256 characters designed to extend the basic Latin character set and accommodate additional symbols like this one, enhancing the readability and overall appearance of text documents. This character belongs to the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) (U+0000 to U+FFFF), which houses most common characters used in digital text around the world. The BMP is divided into various blocks such as Latin-1 Supplement, where this character resides.

How to type the Ò symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0210 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ò has the Unicode code point U+00D2. 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+00D2 to binary: 11010010. 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:
    11000011 10010010
