Description

The Unicode character U+01F8, known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH GRAVE," is a typographical representation used in digital text. Its primary role is to represent the letter "N" with an acute accent, which is typically employed in several Romance languages, such as French and Italian. In these languages, the grave accent serves to indicate nasalization of the vowel sound or a change in pronunciation of the consonant. While not commonly used outside of linguistic contexts that require diacritical marks for specific phonetic or orthographic purposes, U+01F8 is crucial for maintaining accuracy and clarity in written communication within these languages. Overall, this character exemplifies the importance of Unicode's extensive range of characters, which facilitate precise digital representation across various scripts and dialects worldwide.

How to type the Ǹ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0504 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ǹ has the Unicode code point U+01F8. 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+01F8 to binary: 00000001 11111000. 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:
