Description

The Unicode character U+01EC, "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH OGONEK AND MACRON," is a specialized letter used primarily in digital text for representing specific sounds or phonetics in certain languages. In the Polish alphabet, this unique character serves as an important element to differentiate words with similar meanings but distinct pronunciations. The ogonek (little tail) denotes a palatalized consonant, while the macron signifies a long vowel sound. As such, U+01EC plays a crucial role in accurate transcription and translation in the Polish language and other Slavic languages that employ similar diacritical marks.

How to type the Ǭ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0492 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character Ǭ has the Unicode code point U+01EC. 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+01EC to binary: 00000001 11101100. 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:
