Description

Unicode character U+0C76 holds a significant position in the realm of typography and digital text representation. Specifically assigned to represent "Modifier Letter Apostrophe", it plays a critical role in the creation of various accented letters, particularly within the Latin script. Notably, this character is frequently employed in several African languages like Yoruba and Hausa to depict unique phonetic characteristics. U+0C76 also finds application in the creation of special characters for programming languages and specific software applications, further emphasizing its cultural, linguistic, and technical significance. Its presence underscores Unicode's commitment to providing a comprehensive range of symbols that accurately represent diverse writing systems, facilitating seamless communication across different cultures and platforms.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3190 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+0C76. 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+0C76 to binary: 00001100 01110110. 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 10110110
