Description

The Unicode character U+1B15 represents the Balinese letter "Ga" (Balinees schrift Ga). This character is part of the Balinese script, which is used to write the Balinese language, an Austronesian language spoken predominantly in Bali, Indonesia. In digital text, U+1B15 is typically used for representing and displaying the Balinese letter "Ga" when encoding text in Balinese or discussing typography related to the Balinese script. The Balinese script is a syllabic writing system, where each character represents a consonant-vowel syllable. U+1B15 is used to denote the consonant "G" with the vowel "A," forming the syllable "Ga." The Balinese script has been in use since the 16th century and plays an essential role in preserving the cultural heritage and linguistic identity of the Balinese people. In modern computing, the Unicode Standard ensures accurate encoding and display of characters like U+1B15 across different platforms, enabling efficient communication and collaboration among speakers of diverse languages.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6933 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+1B15. 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+1B15 to binary: 00011011 00010101. 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 10101100 10010101
