Description

The Unicode character U+1D5D, also known as the "MODIFIER LETTER SMALL BETA", plays a vital role in digital text by serving as a modifier for the letter 'B' in certain linguistic or technical contexts. It is a part of the 'Letter-like Symbols' category within the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code point for every character used in human language across different platforms and devices. The MODIFIER LETTER SMALL BETA has no cultural significance on its own but can be used alongside other characters to create specific symbols or indicators in fields like chemistry, mathematics, or linguistics. Its primary function is to act as a modifier for the base character 'B', enabling users to create unique and expressive content that may not be achievable with standard letters.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7517 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+1D5D. 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+1D5D to binary: 00011101 01011101. 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 10110101 10011101
