Description

The character U+1D0D, also known as "LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL M," holds a significant position in the realm of digital text. It primarily serves as an uppercase variant of the letter 'M' in typographic styles that employ small capitals, offering an alternative to the traditional lowercase and uppercase forms for improved readability and aesthetic appeal. Although it is part of the Unicode standard, which encompasses a vast array of characters from different writing systems, the use of U+1D0D remains relatively niche due to its specialized context within typography. This character finds its application primarily in professional design, editorial content, and digital publishing, where the need for a distinct, visually balanced appearance prevails.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7437 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+1D0D. 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+1D0D to binary: 00011101 00001101. 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 10001101
