Description

U+09E1 is the Unicode character code for Bengali Letter Vocalic LL (ব্যঙ্গ), a unique symbol in the Bengali script used primarily in digital text. This character is typically employed in written content to represent a specific vowel sound in the Bengali language, which is an Austroasiatic language predominantly spoken in the regions of Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. The use of this letter, along with other characters in the Bengali script, contributes to the rich linguistic diversity found within the Indian subcontinent. Its cultural significance lies in its role as a critical component of the Bengali writing system that dates back centuries, providing an essential means for communication and literary expression.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2529 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+09E1. 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+09E1 to binary: 00001001 11100001. 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 10100001
