Description

U+1EE2, the Latin Capital Letter O with Horn and Dot Below, is a typographic character in Unicode that represents an alphabetic letter. This particular letter is used to convey various linguistic or stylistic nuances within digital text, often for purposes of aesthetic enhancement or to maintain consistency with specific typefaces. While it may not have a widely recognized cultural significance, its use can be found across numerous languages and scripts that employ the Latin alphabet. The character's distinct design, featuring a horn-shaped ascender on the left side and a dot below the base line, distinguishes it from other capital O characters in Unicode. It is most commonly employed to maintain typographic consistency within a document or design when using specialized typefaces that include this particular letterform.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7906 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+1EE2. 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+1EE2 to binary: 00011110 11100010. 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 10100010
