Description

The Unicode character U+1D3A, known as the Modifier Letter Capital N, is a specialized typographical element primarily used in digital text for specific applications requiring customized alphabetic structures. It serves as a base character that can be combined with other alphabetical letters to create new, distinct characters or symbols in certain typographic contexts. This character plays an essential role in the creation of customized alphabets and notational systems used within various technical fields, such as cryptography, linguistics, and information technology. Although it does not have any direct cultural, linguistic, or historical significance on its own, U+1D3A proves to be a valuable tool for those who require the flexibility to modify and adapt alphabets according to specific needs or conventions.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7482 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+1D3A. 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+1D3A to binary: 00011101 00111010. 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 10111010
