Description

The Unicode character U+0106, known as the Latin Capital Letter C with Acute (Ć), plays a significant role in digital text for rendering uppercase 'C' with an acute accent. This character is essential in typographical glyphs due to its use primarily in digital text, particularly in certain linguistic contexts such as Irish or regional dialects of Spanish. It helps distinguish between similar sounds and denotes specific phonetic features, ensuring accurate representation and improved readability. The Latin Capital Letter C with Acute (Ć) is part of the Unicode block named 'Latin Extended-A', which caters to the unique phonetic and orthographic needs of various languages that use Latin-based scripts. This block encompasses 128 characters, ranging from U+0256 to U+02AF, providing an array of diacritical characters and accented letters. The Latin Extended-A Unicode block plays a pivotal role in facilitating accurate and effective communication across various languages that employ Latin script. While it is primarily used in European languages, it can also be employed in other linguistic contexts where these diacritical marks are relevant. As a crucial component of the Unicode system, the Latin Extended-A block enhances the versatility of the Latin alphabet across various languages.

How to type the Ć symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0262 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ć has the Unicode code point U+0106. 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+0106 to binary: 00000001 00000110. 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:
