Description

U+09F0, the Bengali Letter Ra with Middle Diagonal, is a Unicode character that plays a vital role in digital text representation within the Bengali script. It is part of the Extended Bengali script, which consists of 12 unique characters that are used to create consonant clusters or conjuncts in Bengali orthography. The Middle Diagonal (ঋ) is typically placed between two consonants to form a single unit, thereby simplifying the reading and writing process. In the context of digital text, U+09F0 contributes significantly to the accurate representation of the rich cultural heritage and linguistic nuances inherent in Bengali literature, language, and communication. Its precise use is crucial for preserving the authenticity of the text and maintaining its historical significance. The technical aspect of U+09F0 lies in its ability to accurately represent the specific phonetic and morphological characteristics of the Bengali language within a digital environment, which facilitates seamless interaction and communication among native speakers and learners alike.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2544 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+09F0. 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+09F0 to binary: 00001001 11110000. 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 10110000
