Description

U+10CC is a unique character within the Unicode standard, representing an important symbol for the Kannada language, which is predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Karnataka. In digital text, this character serves a crucial role as it represents the 'ya' sound with a nasalized feature (ᶄ), adding depth and diversity to the phonetic expressions of the language. The character also holds significance in linguistic studies due to its distinctive shape and pronunciation, providing valuable insights into the evolution and structure of Kannada script. Furthermore, U+10CC plays a vital role in digital communication, text editing, and translation services for the Kannada-speaking population, thereby preserving their cultural identity in the rapidly globalizing world.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4300 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+10CC. 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+10CC to binary: 00010000 11001100. 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 10000011 10001100
