Description

The Unicode character U+1E5F, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH LINE BELOW," is a typographical symbol used in digital text to represent the lowercase letter 'r' with a horizontal line below it. This character serves an essential role in typography, particularly when displaying text in languages like Romanian or Moldovan, where it is used as a distinct letter, known as 'â'. Additionally, the use of this symbol can be observed in transcription systems, such as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), to indicate specific phonetic characteristics. U+1E5F's presence in digital text facilitates accurate and clear communication across various languages and contexts, emphasizing its importance in the realm of typography and linguistics.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7775 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+1E5F. 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+1E5F to binary: 00011110 01011111. 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 10011111
