Description

The Unicode character U+01F5, or "LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH ACUTE", is a typographical symbol used in digital text to represent the lowercase letter "g" with an acute accent ( Ĝ ). This diacritic mark is often employed in various Latin-based languages to indicate pronunciation or to differentiate between similar words. The character plays a vital role in transcribing and transliterating certain languages, particularly those that utilize the acute accent to modify the sound of "g". While not as widely used as its alphabet counterparts, U+01F5 serves a crucial function in maintaining linguistic accuracy across digital platforms for the languages that require it.

How to type the ǵ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0501 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ǵ has the Unicode code point U+01F5. 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.

    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+01F5 to binary: 00000001 11110101. 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:
