Description

The Unicode character U+1D14 represents the "LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED OE". This typographical character is part of the Unicode 5.2 standard, which was released in 2008. It holds a significant role in digital text as it is used to represent a letter that is not found frequently in modern English or other popular languages. In older texts and historical documents, particularly those from the Germanic language family, the "Turned O" or "O with a stroke through the top bar" was used to depict the 'oe' sound. Although its usage has diminished over time, this character retains cultural importance in certain linguistic contexts where the distinction between 'o' and 'oe' is maintained, such as in Old Norse, Middle English, and some dialects of German. In terms of technicality, it provides a crucial element for accurate representation of historical texts and preserving their original forms in digital format.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7444 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+1D14. 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+1D14 to binary: 00011101 00010100. 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:
