Description

The Unicode character U+1D31, known as the Modifier Letter Capital E, is a typographical symbol with a specific role in digital text. This unique character is often used to represent a phonetic distinction in certain languages, particularly those that utilize the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The Modifier Letter Capital E serves to modify the sound or pronunciation of the preceding letter, making it an essential tool for linguists and speech therapists. Although its usage is relatively niche compared to other common Unicode characters, the Modifier Letter Capital E plays a crucial role in accurately representing specific phonetic features within these specialized fields.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7473 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+1D31. 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+1D31 to binary: 00011101 00110001. 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 10110001
