Description

U+0195 is the Unicode code point for the Latin small letter Hv (ṧ). This unique character plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within linguistics and typography. The Latin small letter Hv is derived from the Old Church Slavonic Cyrillic letter He (Х), which was modified and adopted by certain East European languages. It has been used to represent phonetic values in various linguistic studies. In recent years, it has gained popularity among typographers and designers due to its distinct appearance, contributing to visual diversity in digital text. Despite its relatively niche usage, the Latin small letter Hv remains an important element within specialized fields such as linguistics, Slavic studies, and typography.

How to type the ƕ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0405 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ƕ has the Unicode code point U+0195. 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+0195 to binary: 00000001 10010101. 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:
