Description

U+01D0, the Latin Small Letter I with Caron, is a crucial character in Unicode typography, specifically used in the Czech and Slovak languages. Its primary role lies in distinguishing between similar sounds, as it adds a unique diacritical mark to the letter "i". This distinguishing characteristic plays an essential part in digital text, enabling precise communication and understanding in these linguistic contexts. The Caron (ˇ), or acute accent, is placed above the letter "i" and signifies palatalization, which alters the pronunciation and meaning of a word. By adding the Latin Small Letter I with Caron, speakers can accurately convey specific words and sounds that are unique to the Czech and Slovak languages, ensuring proper communication in digital texts.

How to type the ǐ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0464 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ǐ has the Unicode code point U+01D0. 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+01D0 to binary: 00000001 11010000. 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:
