Description

The Unicode character U+1376 represents the Ethiopic Number Fifty (፰) and plays a vital role in the digital representation of Amharic and other Ethiopian languages. In these scripts, numbers are integrated into text as single characters, making U+1376 an essential component for accurate text encoding. The Ethiopic script is unique, as it reads from right to left and uses its own distinct numerals. These numerical symbols have a rich history dating back to the 4th century AD, reflecting the ancient cultural and linguistic context of Ethiopia. By accurately representing these numbers in digital text, U+1376 contributes to maintaining the integrity and accessibility of Ethiopian literature, documents, and communication across the globe.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4982 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+1376. 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+1376 to binary: 00010011 01110110. 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:
    11100001 10001101 10110110
