Description

The character U+3110, also known as the Bopomofo letter "j", plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the realm of the Zhuang language. This letter is used to represent the pronunciation of a specific consonant sound in this linguistic context. Bopomofo is an essential tool for typography and transcription in the Zhuang language, as it facilitates accurate phonetic representation for readers and speakers who are not native to the region where the Zhuang language is spoken. The use of U+3110 in digital text contributes greatly to preserving linguistic integrity and enhancing communication among people from diverse linguistic backgrounds.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12560 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+3110. 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+3110 to binary: 00110001 00010000. 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:
    11100011 10000100 10010000
