Description

The character U+1D11, known as LATIN SMALL LETTER SIDEWAYS O, is a typographic symbol that plays a crucial role in digital text communication. It is part of the Unicode Standard, a computing industry standard for encoding characters and symbols used across various platforms and applications. The character's primary usage lies in its representation as an alternative form of the lowercase letter 'o'. In certain contexts, this typographic element may be employed to emphasize or express creativity within digital text. Although it is not associated with a specific language or linguistic tradition, the LATIN SMALL LETTER SIDEWAYS O serves as a versatile tool for typographers and designers looking to break away from conventional letterforms in their work. Its unique appearance and orientation add an element of visual interest and creativity to digital text, making it a valuable asset in graphic design, web design, and other creative applications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7441 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+1D11. 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+1D11 to binary: 00011101 00010001. 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 10010001
