Description

The Unicode character U+0975, Devanagari Letter AW (एअ), is a prominent letter within the widely used Devanagari script. This script is primarily used for writing in Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, and several other Indian languages. In digital text, it serves as a fundamental building block, facilitating communication and preserving linguistic heritage. The Devanagari script is an abugida system, which means that each character represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel 'a', and U+0975 specifically denotes the initial sound of the letter "A". To modify this base character with additional vowels or diacritics, various other Devanagari characters are combined, enabling the script's extensive expressive range. U+0975's cultural significance lies in its usage across multiple regions and languages, showcasing the diversity and richness of Indian culture and literature.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2421 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+0975. 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+0975 to binary: 00001001 01110101. 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 10110101
