Description

The Unicode character U+1E7B, known as LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH MACRON AND DIAERESIS, serves a significant role in digital text, particularly in linguistics and typography. This character combines three diacritical marks to form a unique letter that is primarily used in specific languages for distinct phonetic and orthographic purposes. While its usage might be less common compared to other base characters in the Latin alphabet, it holds cultural importance in certain regions. The macron indicates a long vowel sound, while the diaeresis signifies a special pronunciation rule. This combination of diacritics allows for precise representation and communication of language-specific nuances within digital text, contributing to the richness and diversity of human languages.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7803 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+1E7B. 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+1E7B to binary: 00011110 01111011. 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 10111011
