Description

U+0C52 is a character in the Unicode standard, representing the capital letter 'Š' (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S WITH CARON). This character is commonly used within digital text to represent this specific letter in various languages that use the Latin script with diacritical marks. The caron (ˇ) above the letter 'S' is an accent denoting a palatal or postalveolar sound, and is found primarily in Slavic languages such as Czech, Slovak, and Sorbian. In these languages, the character U+0C52 represents a distinct phoneme that differs from the regular 'S' sound. As an essential part of Unicode, U+0C52 contributes to accurate digital representation and communication of text in languages that utilize this particular letter and accent combination.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3154 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+0C52. 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+0C52 to binary: 00001100 01010010. 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 10010010
