Description

The Unicode character U+01D1 represents the Latin capital letter "O" with caron (Š). This character is widely used in various Slavic languages, such as Czech and Slovak. In these languages, it serves as a distinct letter of the alphabet, carrying phonetic and grammatical significance. Typographically, the caron diacritic alters the sound value of "O" from a simple open-mouth vowel to a more back and closed-mid vowel sound, which helps to distinguish between similar words or word endings in these languages. In digital text, U+01D1 plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and enhancing readability for users of Czech and Slovak, as well as other Slavic languages that utilize the caron diacritic. As an expert in Unicode and typography, it is essential to recognize the importance of characters like U+01D1 in preserving the rich linguistic diversity of the world's languages and ensuring accurate digital representation of these unique scripts.

How to type the Ǒ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0465 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ǒ has the Unicode code point U+01D1. 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+01D1 to binary: 00000001 11010001. 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:
