Description

The Unicode character U+0C49 represents the letter 'Š' (capital "S" with a line over it). It is commonly used in digital text to represent this particular letter within various languages, specifically Lithuanian, Latvian, and Old Church Slavic. In these languages, the letter 'Š' serves as a phonetic symbol for the [ʃ] sound, which is a voiced postalveolar fricative. This character holds cultural significance in Lithuania and Latvia, where it plays an essential role in their respective orthographies. U+0C49 is encoded within the "Latin Extended-A" Unicode block, which contains additional Latin characters used in various European languages.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3145 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+0C49. 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+0C49 to binary: 00001100 01001001. 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:
    11100000 10110001 10001001
