U+1E8C Latin Capital Letter X with Diaeresis
U+1E8C was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block Latin Extended Additional in the Basic Multilingual Plane.
This character is a Uppercase Letter and is mainly used in the Latin script. Its lowercase variant is Latin Small Letter X with Diaeresis.
The glyph is a canonical composition of the glyphs Latin Capital Letter X, Combining Diaeresis. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it is written from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+1E8C forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
Diacritical marks of two dots ¨, placed side-by-side over or under a letter, are used in several languages for several different purposes. The most familiar to English-language speakers are the diaeresis and the umlaut, though there are numerous others. For example, in Albanian, ë represents a schwa. Such diacritics are also sometimes used for stylistic reasons (as in the family name Brontë or the band name Mötley Crüe).
In modern computer systems using Unicode, the two-dot diacritics are almost always encoded identically, having the same code point. For example, U+00F6 ö LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS represents both o-umlaut and o-diaeresis. Their appearance in print or on screen may vary between typefaces but rarely within the same typeface.
The word trema (French: tréma), used in linguistics and also classical scholarship, describes the form of both the umlaut diacritic and the diaeresis rather than their function and is used in those contexts to refer to either.
