Description

The Unicode character U+1B53, known as the "Balinese Digit Three", holds a significant position in the realm of typography and digital text. It is primarily employed in the Balinese script, which is predominantly used for writing the Balinese language, an Austronesian language spoken by millions of people in Bali, Indonesia. The character represents the numerical value of three within the context of this script. In a broader sense, U+1B53 has a cultural and linguistic importance as it helps maintain the identity and heritage of the Balinese community by facilitating accurate and authentic representation of their language in digital platforms. The character's usage reflects the diverse nature of human languages and numeral systems worldwide, emphasizing the significance of preserving linguistic diversity through standardized encoding schemes like Unicode. While its use may be limited to specific regions or communities that primarily use the Balinese script, U+1B53 contributes to the rich tapestry of global digital text. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard signifies a commitment to inclusivity and cultural preservation, ensuring that languages like Balinese can continue to thrive in our increasingly interconnected world.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6995 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+1B53. 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+1B53 to binary: 00011011 01010011. 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:
    11100001 10101101 10010011
