Description

The Unicode character U+1A01 represents the Buginese letter 'Ga'. Buginese is a language spoken by approximately 5 million people in Indonesia, primarily in the provinces of South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, West Sulawesi, and Central Sulawesi. This character plays a crucial role in digital text, enabling accurate representation and communication of the Buginese language online and in software applications. U+1A01 is part of the 'Latin Extended-B' Unicode block, which includes characters specific to several non-Latin scripts used in languages spoken across Southeast Asia and Africa. The inclusion of this character and others like it in the Unicode Standard facilitates interoperability between different platforms, ensuring that digital text is accessible and legible for speakers of a wide range of languages.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6657 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+1A01. 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+1A01 to binary: 00011010 00000001. 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:
    11100001 10101000 10000001
