Description

The Unicode character U+1B4F, known as the Balinese Inverted Carik Pareren, is a unique typographic symbol with specific cultural, linguistic, and technical significance. Primarily used in digital text related to the Balinese script, this character holds an essential role in the representation of traditional Balinese literature and written language. The Balinese Inverted Carik Pareren (BICP) is one among many special characters that are integral to the proper rendering of Balinese text. Its inverted form, U+1B4F, signifies a reversed version of the original Carik Pareren symbol (U+1B50). This particular character might be encountered less frequently due to its specialized use within the context of Balinese language and culture. However, it still contributes significantly to the preservation and promotion of this unique script in digital communication platforms and text editing systems.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6991 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+1B4F. 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+1B4F to binary: 00011011 01001111. 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 10001111
