Description

The character U+01DA, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS AND CARON," holds a significant role in digital text, particularly within the realm of linguistics and cultural contexts. This unique typographical symbol is primarily utilized within the Slavic language family, specifically for the Czech and Slovak languages. In these languages, the U+01DA character represents a distinct phoneme that is not present in other languages. The combination of diaeresis (two dots above the letter) and caron (a line across the letter) indicates the presence of an 'u' sound with a following 'i' sound, as in "ú" or "ů." This character allows for greater precision and accuracy in transcription, enabling speakers and writers of Czech and Slovak to express their language with clarity. Furthermore, its use contributes to the richness of these languages' orthography and overall linguistic identity. In digital text, U+01DA serves as a crucial tool for accurately representing words and phrases in Czech and Slovak, thereby preserving the integrity of these cultural expressions within the realm of written communication.

How to type the ǚ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0474 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ǚ has the Unicode code point U+01DA. 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+01DA to binary: 00000001 11011010. 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:
