The Unicode character U+01F3, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER DZ," plays a significant role in digital text representation. This character is commonly used in the Azerbaijani (Azeri) language and other languages that utilize the Latin script. In Azerbaijani, it represents a distinct phoneme that combines the sounds of 'd' and 'z.' As an essential part of the Azerbaijani alphabet, U+01F3 contributes to accurate text translation and communication in digital environments. Additionally, its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper display and compatibility across various platforms and devices, which is crucial for maintaining linguistic integrity and facilitating global information exchange.

How to type the dz symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0499 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character dz has the Unicode code point U+01F3. 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.

    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+01F3 to binary: 00000001 11110011. 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:
