Description

The Unicode character U+1E79, known as LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH TILDE AND ACUTE, is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text for representing certain vowel sounds or letters in various languages that utilize the Latin script. It combines two diacritical marks: the tilde (~) and the acute accent (´), which are placed above and below the base letter "u", respectively. This character is essential in several languages such as Catalan, where it represents a specific phoneme or sound that does not exist in English. The accurate use of U+1E79 in digital text ensures clear communication and understanding among speakers of different languages that utilize this symbol. In terms of technical context, the character's Unicode value allows for seamless integration into various software applications, including word processors, web browsers, and operating systems, ensuring its consistent representation across multiple platforms.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7801 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+1E79. 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+1E79 to binary: 00011110 01111001. 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 10111001
