Description

U+01F0, known as the Latin Small Letter J with Caron (Š), is a character from the Unicode standard used in digital text representation. Its primary usage is within the Czech, Slovak, and Lower Sorbian languages where it serves as an integral part of their alphabets. The Caron, or ring above the letter "J", denotes a palatal consonant sound distinct from the standard "J" found in other languages. This phonetic distinction is crucial for accurate pronunciation and understanding of words within these linguistic contexts. As an essential component of several national alphabets, U+01F0 plays a significant role in preserving and promoting cultural identity through written communication.

How to type the ǰ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0496 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ǰ has the Unicode code point U+01F0. 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+01F0 to binary: 00000001 11110000. 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:
