Description

The Unicode character U+021E represents the Latin Capital Letter H with Caron (Ɛ). This character is primarily used in typography to denote the letter "H" with a caron, or acute accent, in digital text. The caron is a diacritical mark commonly found in the Slovak and Czech alphabets, where it indicates a palatalized or postalveolar consonant. In the case of "Ɛ", the caron differentiates it from the regular capital letter "H," signifying a specific phonetic sound in certain languages. The U+021E character plays a significant role in digital communications, ensuring accurate representation of text and maintaining cultural integrity for speakers of Slovak and Czech, as well as other languages that utilize diacritical marks.

How to type the Ȟ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0542 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ȟ has the Unicode code point U+021E. 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+021E to binary: 00000010 00011110. 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:
