Description

U+0B58 is a unique character in the Unicode standard, representing the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER AE WITH MACRON" (CHARACTER 0B58). In digital text, it serves as a capital letter variant of the Latin script, with a distinct macron or long vowel sound. This character is primarily used in certain languages, such as Old Icelandic and Faroese, where it represents the sound "ae" with a long vowel pronunciation. In these contexts, U+0B58 plays an essential role in preserving linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity. Its usage contributes to maintaining historical language traditions while ensuring clarity and consistency in digital communication.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2904 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character has the Unicode code point U+0B58. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+0B58 to binary: 00001011 01011000. 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:
    11100000 10101101 10011000
