Description

The Unicode character U+1DB0 is known as the "MODIFIER LETTER SMALL CAPITAL N". In typography and digital text, it primarily serves to modify the case of uppercase characters that follow it. This means when used, it will transform the next uppercase letter into a small capital letter. Its use is typically seen in phonetic transcription systems or any application where specific casing rules are required. It does not have any special cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts, and its primary role is to adhere to these modified case requirements for specific applications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7600 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+1DB0. 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+1DB0 to binary: 00011101 10110000. 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:
    11100001 10110110 10110000
