Description

U+1ED2 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH CIRCUMFLEX AND GRAVE) is a specialized Unicode character that combines two diacritical marks, the circumflex accent (^) and the grave accent (`), with the Latin capital letter 'O'. This unique combination of diacritics is often used in digital text to represent specific phonetic or orthographic features in certain languages. In particular, it has been observed in the Romanian language, where it denotes a distinct pronunciation for the letter 'O' by emphasizing both a raised (circumflex) and lowered (grave) sound. While its usage is relatively limited in modern digital communication due to the widespread adoption of the standard Latin alphabet without such diacritical marks, the U+1ED2 character remains an important symbol of linguistic and cultural heritage. It reflects the historical evolution of written languages and serves as a testament to the flexibility and adaptability of Unicode in representing a vast array of scripts and symbols from around the world.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7890 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+1ED2. 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+1ED2 to binary: 00011110 11010010. 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 10010010
