Description

U+1D06, also known as the Latin Letter Small Capital Eth, is a typographic character used primarily in digital text to represent a modified form of the letter 'E' in various scripts and alphabets. Its typical usage is found within the Ge'ez script, which is an ancient writing system used for both the Ethiopian and Eritrean languages. The Small Capital Eth (U+1D06) is a crucial element in the Ge'ez script as it serves to differentiate between certain phonetic sounds and grammatical structures within the language. Although not widely used outside of these specific cultural and linguistic contexts, U+1D06 holds significant value for researchers, scholars, and those studying Ethiopian or Eritrean languages. The character is an essential component in preserving and understanding the historical and cultural nuances of these ancient languages.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7430 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+1D06. 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+1D06 to binary: 00011101 00000110. 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 10110100 10000110
