Description

U+1B40 is the Unicode code point for Balinese vowel sign taling tedung (᮴), a character primarily used in digital text representation of the Balinese script, an abugida writing system native to Bali, Indonesia. In this script, each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel, and the specific vowels are modified using diacritics like the taling tedung. The taling tedung diacritic is placed above the consonant to change its inherent vowel from 'a' to 'u'. This character plays a crucial role in preserving Balinese language and cultural heritage through accurate digital text representation, aiding in the creation of electronic documents, websites, mobile applications, and other digital media that utilize the Balinese script. Its use contributes to maintaining linguistic diversity and fostering cultural understanding by representing the unique phonetic and orthographic characteristics of the Balinese language in a standardized and globally recognized format.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6976 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+1B40. 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+1B40 to binary: 00011011 01000000. 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:
