Description

U+0148, the Latin Small Letter N with Caron, is a character in the Unicode standard primarily used to represent the letter 'n' with an acute accent in digital text. This character is most commonly employed in the Czech and Slovak languages, where it denotes a unique phoneme distinct from that of the unaccented 'n'. The Caron, or háček, serves as a diacritical mark indicating palatalization of the preceding consonant, altering its pronunciation. In these languages, the character plays an important role in distinguishing words with different meanings and grammatical functions. As part of the Unicode standard, U+0148 facilitates accurate representation and communication of these distinctions across various digital platforms, aiding in the preservation of linguistic nuance and cultural identity.

How to type the ň symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0328 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ň has the Unicode code point U+0148. 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+0148 to binary: 00000001 01001000. 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:
