Description

The Unicode character U+096F is the Devanagari digit nine (ड़). In digital text, it serves as a numeral within the Devanagari script, which is predominantly used for writing Hindi, a widely spoken language in India and surrounding countries. Devanagari digits are used to represent numbers in various mathematical and computational contexts in digital texts. U+096F holds cultural significance, as it forms part of the Devanagari script that has been historically used for writing Sanskrit, a classical language in South Asia, as well as modern languages such as Marathi, Nepali, and several others. The Unicode Standard ensures accurate representation and encoding of these digits, enabling proper display and interpretation across various platforms and devices.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2415 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+096F. 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+096F to binary: 00001001 01101111. 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 10101111
