Description

U+019A is the Unicode code point for the character "LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH BAR". This character is a letter used in the Latvian language and is part of the Latin Extended-A set of characters. In typography, it holds a distinctive place due to the vertical bar that separates the upper and lower parts of the letter 'L'. The usage of this character is limited primarily to the context of Latvian language documents or in other instances where the aesthetic appeal of the character might be preferred over the standard 'L'. It has no significant cultural or linguistic role outside the Latvian language, though it can be used in digital text for purposes of artistic expression or to convey a specific tone or mood.

How to type the ƚ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0410 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ƚ has the Unicode code point U+019A. 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+019A to binary: 00000001 10011010. 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:
