Description

U+2E5F is a specialized character in the Unicode Standard, primarily employed in digital text for its unique representation and role within specific applications. This particular character holds significance due to its association with the Kannada script, an ancient Indian language that belongs to the Dravidian family of languages. In this context, U+2E5F represents a specific consonant or vowel, contributing to the phonetic and semantic structure of written text in the Kannada script. Although its usage might be limited to niche areas, such as linguistic studies, translation work, or software development targeting regional languages, U+2E5F plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting the rich heritage of the Kannada language and culture.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11871 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+2E5F. 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+2E5F to binary: 00101110 01011111. 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:
    11100010 10111001 10011111
