Description

The Unicode character U+1AB0 represents the "COMBINING DOUBLED CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT." This typographical element is utilized in digital text to modify certain characters by doubling the circumflex accent, which is a diacritical mark typically used in French and Romanian. It is applied above a base character to alter its pronunciation or orthography, such as in the word "î" (U+0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I) with a doubled circumflex accent becoming "î̂." Its primary role is to provide a specific linguistic nuance in text where it's needed, particularly for languages that use the circumflex accent. However, its usage may be less common due to potential compatibility issues and limited support across devices or platforms. The COMBINING DOUBLED CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT remains an important character in Unicode, showcasing the extensive range of typographical possibilities and further enriching digital text's expressive capabilities.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6832 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+1AB0. 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+1AB0 to binary: 00011010 10110000. 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 10101010 10110000
