Description

The Unicode character U+1D5F, known as the Modifier Letter Small Delta (Ꞅ), is a typographic symbol primarily used in digital text for various applications in linguistics and typography. This character is part of a set of modifier letters that were created to provide additional phonetic symbols for use in International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcriptions, orthography studies, and other specialized fields where precise representation of sounds is crucial. The Small Delta symbol represents a distinct sound or phoneme, typically found in certain language families such as Semitic languages. It serves as a valuable tool for linguists, phoneticians, and typographers working on these languages to accurately represent the specific sounds they are studying or working with. Overall, the Modifier Letter Small Delta (U+1D5F) plays an essential role in enabling more accurate transcriptions and analysis of language structure and phonetic properties in various linguistic contexts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7519 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+1D5F. 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+1D5F to binary: 00011101 01011111. 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 10011111
