Description

U+1E66, or Latin Capital Letter S with Caron and Dot Above, is a typographical character primarily used in the Slovak language. In digital text, this character represents an uppercase 'S' that features both a caron (cédille) and a dot above it, denoting a specific phonetic distinction. The caron indicates a palatal or postalveolar consonant, while the dot above represents a long vowel sound. This character is essential in Slovak orthography to convey accurate pronunciation and meaning in written texts. As a typographical expert, it's important to note that U+1E66 is a Unicode character used to represent this unique phonetic combination accurately, enabling clear communication and preserving linguistic integrity across digital platforms.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7782 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+1E66. 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+1E66 to binary: 00011110 01100110. 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 10111001 10100110
