Description

U+0143 is the Unicode code point for "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH ACUTE", a typographical character primarily utilized in digital text for various applications. This character is widely used across numerous languages, particularly those derived from Latin roots. Its primary role is to display an uppercase 'N' with an acute accent mark above it, which helps differentiate it from other letters and provides clarity in linguistic contexts where accents are important for meaning or pronunciation. The acute accent can signify a distinct phoneme or change the meaning of a word. In technical terms, U+0143 is part of the Unicode Standard, a system that assigns unique code points to characters across various scripts and languages, enabling seamless digital communication and preserving linguistic nuances in our increasingly interconnected world.

How to type the Ń symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0323 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ń has the Unicode code point U+0143. 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+0143 to binary: 00000001 01000011. 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:
