Description

The Unicode character U+1EC2, known as the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH CIRCUMFLEX AND HOOK ABOVE," is a typographical mark primarily utilized in digital text for linguistic and cultural purposes. It is often employed in languages such as Old French or the regional dialects of France, where it plays an essential role in maintaining historical and regional linguistic accuracy. This character combines two diacritical marks: the circumflex (^), which denotes nasalization in some Romance languages, and the hook above (ˇ), which typically signifies a palatalization or a change in vowel quality. While its usage might be less common in today's digital communication, it remains an important symbol for those who value cultural authenticity and historical linguistic accuracy in their texts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7874 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character has the Unicode code point U+1EC2. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+1EC2 to binary: 00011110 11000010. 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:
    11100001 10111011 10000010
