Description

U+1EBA, the Latin Capital Letter E with Hook Above, is a specialized typographical character that plays an important role in certain digital texts. It primarily serves to represent specific accented forms of the letter "E" within certain linguistic contexts. The character is often used in the Aymara language, spoken by approximately three million people in Bolivia, Peru, and Chile. In this language, the U+1EBA character helps differentiate words with the same base letters but different accents, which are crucial for maintaining accurate meaning within the text. The Latin Capital Letter E with Hook Above is also employed in other less-common languages that use the Latin script with unique accent variations. In technical terms, this Unicode character is essential for proper rendering and representation of these languages online and in software applications. By accurately representing accented forms of "E," U+1EBA contributes to clear communication and preservation of linguistic identity within digital texts, ensuring that speakers of languages like Aymara can express themselves accurately without sacrificing their unique accentuation systems.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7866 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+1EBA. 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+1EBA to binary: 00011110 10111010. 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 10111010
