Description

U+1E16 is a unique Unicode character code that represents the Latin capital letter "E" with both macron and acute accents. In digital text, this character typically serves as an accent mark for the E character to denote specific pronunciation or distinction in certain languages or dialects. While this particular combination of diacritics is not widely used in most linguistic contexts, it may play a role in specialized transcription systems or be utilized by typographers and linguists working with less commonly studied languages. The U+1E16 character is an important part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to standardize and provide a unique code for every character, symbol, and glyph used in written communication worldwide. This ensures accurate representation and transmission of text across different platforms and devices, while also facilitating the development of advanced typography and character-based artistry in digital media.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7702 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+1E16. 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+1E16 to binary: 00011110 00010110. 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 10111000 10010110
