Description

The Unicode character U+1E7A represents the Latin capital letter "U" with a macron and diaeresis, which is encoded in digital text as "Ư̈". This character is used to denote a long vowel sound, as it combines the macron (a horizontal line above the letter) that indicates length with the diaeresis (two dots above the letter) that signifies a separate vowel sound. U+1E7A is primarily utilized in linguistic contexts where these specific phonetic characteristics are required, such as for certain dialects of Swiss German or for transcription purposes in historical linguistics and comparative philology. The accurate representation of this character in digital text is essential for maintaining the integrity of these specialized languages and disciplines.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7802 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+1E7A. 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+1E7A to binary: 00011110 01111010. 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 10111010
