Description

The Unicode character U+09B2 represents the Bengali letter "La" (লা). In digital text, it serves as a fundamental building block for creating words and sentences in the Bengali language, which is predominantly spoken in Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal. As part of the Gurmukhi script family, this character is written from right to left and adheres to the rules of the Bengali script's ligature system, where certain letter combinations are represented by a single grapheme. U+09B2 holds significant cultural and linguistic importance, as it helps preserve and promote the rich literary heritage of the Bengali people, allowing for the accurate representation and transmission of their language in digital formats. The character's role in enabling communication, education, and cultural expression highlights its technical significance within the broader context of global typography and Unicode standardization.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2482 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+09B2. 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+09B2 to binary: 00001001 10110010. 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 10100110 10110010
