Description

The Unicode character U+0924 represents the Devanagari Letter Ta (ड) in the Devanagari script. In digital text, this character plays a crucial role as it is one of the 31 consonant letters used to form words and sentences in languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, and several others that utilize the Devanagari script. The Devanagari script is primarily used to write the Hindi language, which is spoken by over 450 million people worldwide, making it the third most spoken language globally. U+0924, or ड, is derived from the Brahmi script, an ancient Indian writing system that laid the foundation for many other scripts in South Asia. As part of the Devanagari script, it contributes to a rich linguistic and cultural tradition that has been evolving for over two millennia. In typography, special attention is given to ensure accurate rendering of U+0924 to maintain its visual integrity and legibility in various digital environments, such as websites, documents, and applications that support the Devanagari script.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2340 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+0924. 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+0924 to binary: 00001001 00100100. 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 10100100
