Description

The Unicode character U+01E7 represents the "LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH CARON". This character is primarily used in digital text for its role in typography and specifically in the Slovak and Czech languages, where it is a key element of their alphabets. In these languages, the caron (̋) placed on top of the letter 'g' modifies the pronunciation and meaning of the character. It denotes a soft "g" sound as opposed to the hard "g" sound that the letter would represent without the caron. As such, U+01E7 is an essential part of the written forms of these languages, assisting in accurate communication and understanding among speakers of Slovak and Czech. The character can be found in various digital text and document formats, and it's used by designers and typographers due to its significant role in the representation of these languages.

How to type the ǧ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0487 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ǧ has the Unicode code point U+01E7. 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+01E7 to binary: 00000001 11100111. 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:
    11000111 10100111
