Description

The Unicode character U+1EEE, known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH HORN AND TILDE," is a specialized letter that can be found in various typography systems. It is primarily used to represent the distinct sound or phoneme in certain languages, particularly those of the Ibero-Romance group such as Galician and Asturian. The character combines two diacritical marks - the horn (~) and the tilde (̃) - with the Latin capital letter 'U'. This combination is essential for accurate representation of sounds in these languages, as the horn serves to modify the vowel's pronunciation while the tilde signals nasalization. In digital text, U+1EEE plays a crucial role in preserving linguistic identity and promoting clear communication by enabling correct pronunciation of words. It has gained prominence due to its use in cultural documents, literary works, and formal writing systems where such distinctions are vital.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7918 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+1EEE. 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+1EEE to binary: 00011110 11101110. 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 10101110
