Description

U+09E7, or BENGALI DIGIT ONE, is a numeric character used in the Bengali script. As a part of the Unicode Standard, it plays a significant role in digital text, enabling accurate representation and communication of numbers in the Bengali language. The character is derived from the ancient Brahmi script, which has evolved over centuries to form the modern Bengali alphabet. In the context of Bengali numerals, the digit one represents the concept of unity or singularity, often used in counting, measurements, and other numerical expressions. Its usage reflects the rich cultural and linguistic heritage of Bengal, a region that includes both Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal. With a population of millions who speak the Bengali language, U+09E7 serves as an essential tool for accurate digital communication and preservation of this unique linguistic identity.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2535 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+09E7. 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+09E7 to binary: 00001001 11100111. 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:
    11100000 10100111 10100111
