Back in May 9, 2019 a Unicode mnemonic for recalling the decimal notation of common diacritics was presented.
A tutorial was also presented.
That was aimed at finding patterns in the Unicode system. We now present an alternative mnemonic.
Step 1: Multiply 32 times its digits like this: 32*3*2 = 192.
Step 2: Add 0, 8, 12, 18, and 25 to 192 to create row R1. Add 32 to create a new row r1 like this:
R1….192, 200, 204, 210, 217
r1…..224, 232, 236, 242, 249
Step 3: Add 1 to create new rows R2 and r2. Repeat this step to create rows R3 and r3. You now have the following rows:
R1….192, 200, 204, 210, 217
r1…..224, 232, 236, 242, 249
R2….193, 201, 205, 211, 218
r2…..225, 233, 237, 243, 250
R3….194, 202, 206, 212, 219
r3…..226, 234, 238, 244, 251
R1 and r1 list Unicode values for grave accents in upper and lower cases, respectively.
R2 and r2 list Unicode values for acute accents in upper and lower cases, respectively.
R3 and r3 list Unicode values for circumflexes in upper and lower cases, respectively.
Add “&#” and “;” to properly render the diacritics.
As mentioned, the goal here was to explore the mining of the Unicode system. Obviously there are simpler ways of rendering those diacritics, for instance for the letters A and a, by using
Á á À à Â â
