Description

The Unicode character U+1EEA, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH HORN AND GRAVE, is a typographical symbol used in digital text to represent a specific letter variant in certain linguistic contexts. In the Latin script, this character is employed to denote a capital letter 'U' with a unique combination of diacritical marks - a horn and a grave accent. This particular combination is typically associated with the Occitan language, which is spoken in regions across southern France. The horn is used to indicate a phonetic change in some dialects, while the grave accent indicates a lengthening or nasalization of the sound. While U+1EEA may not be frequently used due to its association with a relatively lesser-known language, it plays an essential role in preserving and promoting the linguistic and cultural identity of the Occitan people. As with other Unicode characters, U+1EEA helps maintain typographical accuracy and consistency across digital platforms, enabling users to create content that accurately reflects the intended language and style.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7914 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+1EEA. 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+1EEA to binary: 00011110 11101010. 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 10101010
