Description

U+090D is the Unicode code point for Devanagari Letter Candrā, a character used in the Devanagari script which represents an ancient writing system primarily employed for the Hindi language. In digital text, this letter is used to represent the phoneme "c" or the consonant "ख़" (kha) in the International Phonetic Alphabet. The Devanagari script is widely utilized in various Indian languages such as Marathi, Sanskrit, and Nepali, playing a crucial role in the linguistic diversity of South Asia. It was designed to facilitate accurate representation of the sounds of the Hindi language, improving readability and comprehension for both native speakers and learners alike. The use of Devanagari script in digital text has greatly increased accessibility to Indian languages, promoting cultural preservation and fostering communication across linguistic barriers.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2317 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+090D. 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+090D to binary: 00001001 00001101. 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 10100100 10001101
