Description

U+1EB8, also known as Latin Capital Letter E with Dot Below, is a typographical character used in digital text to represent an uppercase version of the letter 'E' with a dot below its baseline. This unique symbol is often employed to convey emphasis or special styling in written content. While not universally recognized within the English language, it plays a significant role in certain cultural contexts and typography design. The character can be found in Unicode, a standardized system for encoding, displaying, and processing text across various platforms, devices, and programming languages. By using U+1EB8, designers and writers can introduce distinct visual elements to their work while maintaining accuracy and fidelity in digital communication.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7864 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+1EB8. 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+1EB8 to binary: 00011110 10111000. 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 10111010 10111000
