Description

The Unicode character U+096C represents the Devanagari digit six (ड) and is a crucial component of the widely used Devanagari script, which is predominantly employed for writing the Hindi language, along with other Indian languages such as Sanskrit, Maithili, Marathi, Nepali, Bengali, and Gujarati. This character plays an essential role in digital text by facilitating accurate representation of numerical values within texts written in these languages. The Devanagari digit six is used to denote the number six in various contexts, such as counting, dates, and addresses, and contributes significantly to the cultural, linguistic, and technical continuity of these languages in the digital realm.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2412 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+096C. 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+096C to binary: 00001001 01101100. 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 10101100
