Description

The Unicode character U+32E6 represents the uppercase form of the "Nu" (ヌ) in the extended Katakana script. Katakana is one of the three Japanese scripts, along with Hiragana and Kanji. It consists of 48 basic characters, each representing a consonant or vowel sound. U+32E6 is typically used in digital text to transcribe and transliterate Japanese words, names, and phrases that contain the "Nu" sound. The character plays a vital role in various linguistic and cultural contexts, as it helps to standardize the written form of the Japanese language in digital environments, facilitating communication and understanding across different regions and communities. Its usage is also significant from a technical standpoint, given the growing importance of internationalization and localization in modern software development and digital content management.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 13030 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+32E6. 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+32E6 to binary: 00110010 11100110. 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:
    11100011 10001011 10100110
