Description

The Unicode character U+1EE4, known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH DOT BELOW," is a typographic symbol commonly used in digital text. This unique letter combines the uppercase Latin 'U' with an additional dot placed below it, serving to enhance visual clarity and differentiate the character from others in certain contexts. The character is particularly useful for typesetting in situations where distinguishing between similar letters or ensuring proper legibility is essential. U+1EE4 has found notable usage in various cultural, linguistic, and technical fields, including the transcription of non-Latin languages, the creation of unique typographic identities, and the design of digital content for visually impaired users.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7908 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+1EE4. 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+1EE4 to binary: 00011110 11100100. 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 10100100
