Description

U+0978 is a Devanagari letter called 'MARWARI DDA' in the Unicode character set. This character is primarily used in digital text to represent a specific sound or phoneme within the Marwari language, which is predominantly spoken in the Indian states of Rajasthan and Gujarat. The Marwari script is derived from the Devanagari script, but has evolved to include unique letters and characters such as U+0978 to represent distinct phonetic values specific to the Marwari language. Its usage plays a vital role in preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of the Marwari community.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2424 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+0978. 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+0978 to binary: 00001001 01111000. 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 10111000
