Description

The Unicode character U+01ED, "LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH OGONEK AND MACRON", is a typographical representation used in digital text to display the letter 'o' with an ogonek and a macron diacritical marks. This special character serves a significant role in the Polish language where it helps denote the pronunciation of the letter 'o'. In the context of linguistic representation, U+01ED assists in differentiating between the distinct sounds of 'o' that may not be easily distinguishable in other languages with a standard latin alphabet. In digital text, this character is commonly used for transcribing and transliterating Polish words into English or other non-Polish languages, aiding in understanding and communication across different cultures and dialects. It helps preserve the original pronunciation and intonation of Polish words when written using an alphabet that may not have direct equivalents for all phonemes in the Polish language.

How to type the ǭ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0493 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ǭ has the Unicode code point U+01ED. 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+01ED to binary: 00000001 11101101. 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:
