Description

The Unicode character U+0213, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH INVERTED BREVE," is a typographic element commonly used in digital text. This character serves a specific role in typography, enabling the creation of distinct letterforms within written language. It features an inverted breve, which is a diacritical mark that resembles a hook placed over or under a letter, signifying a change in pronunciation or stress in certain languages. While its usage is not widespread, it holds significance for scholars and linguists studying less common languages that employ this character to differentiate certain sounds within their phonetic systems. As an expert in Unicode and typography, it is important to note the cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts that surround the utilization of U+0213 in digital text, emphasizing its importance as a vital tool for accurate communication across languages and platforms.

How to type the ȓ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0531 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ȓ has the Unicode code point U+0213. 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+0213 to binary: 00000010 00010011. 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:
