Description

U+1D4D is a character in the Unicode Standard known as the "MODIFIER LETTER SMALL G." This character serves a specific role in digital text as part of the Unicode 3.0, released in 1998, which expanded the range of available characters to include more scripts and symbols from around the world. The MODIFIER LETTER SMALL G is a modifier character, used primarily for diacritical marking or accentuation in various languages and scripts. Its primary function is to modify the pronunciation, stress, or tone of another letter or syllable in typography and linguistic applications. Although this character has limited usage compared to more widely known Unicode characters, it plays an important role in preserving the accuracy of linguistic representation in digital text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7501 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+1D4D. 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+1D4D to binary: 00011101 01001101. 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 10001101
