Description

U+1ED1 (LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH CIRCUMFLEX AND ACUTE) is a unique character in the Unicode standard that combines two diacritical marks, the circumflex (^) and the acute accent (´), with the Latin small letter 'o'. Its typical usage in digital text is to represent the pronunciation of the letter 'o' in certain Romance languages, such as French and Portuguese, where it signifies a nasalized vowel sound. The character plays an essential role in preserving and displaying linguistic nuances accurately in written communication. In a cultural context, it may be used to differentiate between similar-sounding words or indicate specific pronunciation rules. For example, in French, the accent marks can change the meaning of a word entirely. The LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH CIRCUMFLEX AND ACUTE character is also significant for linguists and typographers who study language evolution and typography across various regions and languages. Overall, U+1ED1 is an important character in digital text that maintains the accuracy of linguistic expressions and cultural contexts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7889 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+1ED1. 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+1ED1 to binary: 00011110 11010001. 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 10010001
