Description

The Unicode character U+01D2 represents the Latin small letter "o" with caron (Ő). It is a diacritic, which means it is used to modify the base character by indicating a change in its pronunciation or meaning. This character is primarily used in digital text for various European languages, such as Czech, Slovak, and Lower Sorbian, where it denotes an "o" sound that is more rounded and back-of-the-mouth than the standard "o". It is essential in these languages to maintain accurate pronunciation and intelligibility when typing or displaying text. As a result, U+01D2 plays a crucial role in preserving linguistic identity and cultural heritage for speakers of these languages.

How to type the ǒ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0466 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ǒ has the Unicode code point U+01D2. 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+01D2 to binary: 00000001 11010010. 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:
