Description

The Unicode character U+0947 is the Devanagari Vowel Sign 'E', a significant element within the Devanagari script which is used primarily for writing Hindi, an Indo-Aryan language predominantly spoken in India. In digital text, it plays a crucial role in representing vowels and modifying consonants to form words with various meanings. The character 'E' belongs to the Devanagari abugida system where each consonant has an inherent vowel sound represented by diacritic marks or separate vowel characters that can be added, removed, or altered as needed. U+0947 is a diacritic mark that alters the base consonant's sound to 'E', creating a distinct word. This character reflects the cultural and linguistic diversity of India, contributing to the richness of its digital text expressions in languages like Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, Sanskrit, among others. In terms of technical context, it is part of the Unicode Standard that provides a unique code for every character, ensuring accurate representation and preservation across different platforms, systems, and applications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2375 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+0947. 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+0947 to binary: 00001001 01000111. 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 10000111
