Description

U+0119, known as the Latin Small Letter E with Ogonek, is a typographical character used primarily within digital text for its distinctive appearance. It serves an important role in various languages, particularly those belonging to the Slavic linguistic family. The Ogonek is a diacritical mark placed on the lower-case letter 'e' and is used to represent a distinct phoneme or sound that is not present in other alphabets. This character's cultural significance stems from its usage in languages such as Polish, where it distinguishes between two different vowel sounds. The accurate representation of this character in digital text contributes to the preservation and understanding of these linguistic nuances. In terms of technical context, U+0119 is an Unicode code point that allows for precise encoding and rendering of this unique letter form across various devices and platforms.

How to type the ę symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0281 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ę has the Unicode code point U+0119. 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+0119 to binary: 00000001 00011001. 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:
