Description

The Unicode character U+01D4, known as the "Latin Small Letter U with Caron," plays a crucial role in various languages that employ diacritical marks. Typically used in Czech and Slovak alphabets, this character serves to denote the pronunciation of the letter 'u' when followed by certain consonants. The caron, or háček (ˇ), is one of several diacritical marks utilized within Slavic languages to alter phonetic values of letters, illustrating the importance of accurate and precise representation in digital text for preserving linguistic nuances.

How to type the ǔ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0468 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ǔ has the Unicode code point U+01D4. 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+01D4 to binary: 00000001 11010100. 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:
