Description

The character U+0954, Devanagari Acute Accent, is a vital component of the Devanagari script, which is predominantly used for writing the Hindi language and several other Indian languages. In digital text, this character serves as an acute accent to modify the sound or pronunciation of certain letters within words. The acute accent symbol (′) alters the phonetic properties of the base letter it modifies, enabling users to represent a wide range of sounds and nuances in the Devanagari script accurately. It is important to note that the Devanagari Acute Accent is deeply embedded in the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Indian subcontinent, playing a crucial role in the preservation and evolution of these languages in the digital era. The use of this character in digital text ensures accurate representation of regional languages, which is essential for effective communication and cultural exchange on a global scale.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2388 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+0954. 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+0954 to binary: 00001001 01010100. 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 10100101 10010100
