The Unicode character U+02EE, known as the Modifier Letter Double Apostrophe, primarily serves a technical role in digital typography. It is typically used to modify other letters by combining above or below them, altering their appearance or function within specific linguistic contexts. This character often plays an essential part in creating certain accented characters that may not have dedicated Unicode representations. The Modifier Letter Double Apostrophe finds its utility in various cultural and linguistic settings where diacritics are crucial for conveying accurate meaning. It is particularly useful for creating customized alphabets or character sets for specific languages, ensuring correct pronunciation and interpretation of words. While it may not be widely known or used by the general public, the Modifier Letter Double Apostrophe demonstrates the versatility and inclusivity of Unicode in accommodating diverse linguistic needs.

How to type the ˮ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0750 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character ˮ has the Unicode code point U+02EE. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0080 to 0x07ff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format: 110xxxxx 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+02EE to binary: 00000010 11101110. 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:
