Description

The character U+0154, Latin Capital Letter R with Acute, is a crucial element within the Unicode Standard, which provides a unique code for every character in every language of the world. This specific symbol is primarily used in digital text as an accentuated form of the letter "R" and carries an essential role in typography due to its distinct acute marking. In linguistic contexts, U+0154 is commonly found in various regional languages and dialects where the acute accent denotes a change in pronunciation or meaning. For instance, it is utilized in Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge) to differentiate between a plain 'R' sound and an 'Á', which represents a rolled R sound. Furthermore, the Latin Capital Letter R with Acute has cultural significance as it plays a role in preserving and promoting the unique linguistic characteristics of these regional languages. In digital text processing and encoding, U+0154 ensures accurate representation and interpretation of the intended linguistic features, facilitating effective communication across diverse cultures and languages.

How to type the Ŕ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0340 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ŕ has the Unicode code point U+0154. 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+0154 to binary: 00000001 01010100. 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:
