Description

U+0151, or "LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DOUBLE ACUTE," is a Unicode character that serves a specific role in digital text. It represents the lowercase letter 'o' with double acute accents, which are diacritical marks used to alter the pronunciation and/or orthography of a letter in certain languages. This character is particularly notable for its use in the Occitan language, where it is used to represent the distinct phoneme /ɔ/, which is a back-rounded open mid vowel. In addition to Occitan, this character can be found in other Romance languages, such as French and Italian, albeit less frequently due to differences in pronunciation rules or orthography. The LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DOUBLE ACUTE adds an important layer of linguistic nuance and cultural richness to digital text when used appropriately.

How to type the ő symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0337 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ő has the Unicode code point U+0151. 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+0151 to binary: 00000001 01010001. 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:
