Description

U+1EDA, also known as Latin Capital Letter O with Horn and Acute, is a unique typographical character that plays an important role in digital text, specifically within the domain of linguistics and typography. It is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a uniform system for representing characters from all written languages across various platforms and devices. The Latin Capital Letter O with Horn and Acute combines two diacritical marks: the horn (⁇) and the acute accent (´). This combination gives the character its distinct appearance, setting it apart from other versions of the letter 'O'. Its primary usage is in linguistic studies and typography, particularly for creating text with special accents or for representing specific regional variations of a language. In certain cultural contexts, such as the Italian dialect of Gallurese, this character holds particular significance and can be found in traditional written forms of the language. By understanding the role of U+1EDA in digital text, one can gain insight into the vast array of characters and symbols that contribute to the richness and diversity of human language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7898 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+1EDA. 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+1EDA to binary: 00011110 11011010. 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 10011010
