Description

The Unicode character U+1D3C, known as the Modifier Letter Capital O, is a typographical element primarily utilized in digital text for its role in various orthographies that employ modifier letters. It serves as an uppercase variant of the letter 'O', and is commonly employed in conjunction with other characters to form diacritical marks or signs specific to certain languages or scripts. While it does not hold a prominent place within the English language, its application can be observed in linguistic contexts where modified Latin script letters are required for accurate representation. In these instances, U+1D3C plays an essential role in ensuring precise phonetic and orthographic expressions, thus contributing to the diversity and inclusivity of digital text communication.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7484 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+1D3C. 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+1D3C to binary: 00011101 00111100. 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 10111100
