Description

The character U+1B65, known as the "Balinese Musical Symbol Dang Surang," holds a significant position within the realm of digital text, particularly in the domain of traditional Balinese music notation. This symbol is an essential component in representing musical pitches and rhythms in this distinct art form. As part of the Unicode Standard, it allows for accurate and consistent encoding of text across various platforms, ensuring the preservation and continuation of this unique cultural heritage in the digital age. The Dang Surang, like other Balinese musical symbols, is intrinsically tied to the cultural and linguistic contexts of Indonesia, specifically Bali, where traditional music has been practiced for centuries. In summary, U+1B65 serves as a crucial element in preserving the legacy of Balinese music notation, connecting it with broader global communication through its inclusion in the Unicode Standard.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7013 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+1B65. 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+1B65 to binary: 00011011 01100101. 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 10100101
