Description

The Unicode character U+1B2C represents the Balinese letter 'Ya' (᮸) in digital text. This character is primarily used in the Balinese language, which belongs to the Austronesian family of languages. In this script, the Ya character serves as a consonant with the phonetic value /j/. Balinese script, known as Sudarma or Pallawa, has been in use since the 13th century and holds significant cultural and historical importance for the Balinese people. The character U+1B2C is essential for accurate representation of text in digital platforms to preserve the rich linguistic heritage of the Balinese language and its unique script.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6956 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+1B2C. 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+1B2C to binary: 00011011 00101100. 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 10101100
