Description

U+1D34, the Modifier Letter Capital H, is a typographical character primarily used to denote phonetic or orthographic distinctions in digital text. This Unicode character allows writers to represent specific sounds or variations of a letter that may not be available through standard Latin alphabet characters. It plays a crucial role in linguistic and technical contexts where precise pronunciation or distinct phonetic features are required for accurate communication. The Modifier Letter Capital H is commonly utilized in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to signify unique pronunciations of consonants or vowels. This Unicode character enhances the clarity and effectiveness of written language, enabling users to create more accurate transcriptions of speech sounds across various languages and dialects. Additionally, it serves as a valuable tool for linguists, phoneticians, and researchers in fields such as phonology, sociolinguistics, and applied linguistics, where precise sound representation is essential.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7476 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+1D34. 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+1D34 to binary: 00011101 00110100. 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 10110100
