Description

The Unicode character U+018B, known as the Latin Capital Letter D with Topbar (𝒷), is a typographical glyph utilized in digital text for various purposes. This character is primarily used to represent a distinct letter form within certain regional or historical alphabets, as it deviates from the standard capital 'D' in the Basic Latin alphabet (U+0044). U+018B finds its application in linguistic and cultural contexts that require the use of special characters for emphasis, distinction, or stylistic expression. In technical contexts, this character is often employed to differentiate text or create unique visual designs. The Latin Capital Letter D with Topbar contributes to the richness and diversity of written communication by offering an alternative representation beyond the standardized alphabet.

How to type the Ƌ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0395 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character Ƌ has the Unicode code point U+018B. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0080 to 0x07ff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format: 110xxxxx 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+018B to binary: 00000001 10001011. 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:
