Description

The Unicode character U+1D39 represents the Modifier Letter Capital M (MLEM), a typographical element used primarily in digital text for diacritic modification of letters. In specific linguistic contexts, such as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and various constructed languages like Esperanto, the MLEM is employed to alter the pronunciation or sound of a letter without changing its basic form. Its application allows for greater precision in phonetic representation, facilitating accurate transcription of speech sounds and promoting clear communication across different languages and dialects. Due to its specialized nature, the Modifier Letter Capital M is less frequently used than other Unicode characters but remains an essential tool for those working in linguistics, phonetics, and language creation.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7481 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+1D39. 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+1D39 to binary: 00011101 00111001. 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 10111001
