Description

The Unicode character U+0ADE represents a letter "Ŋ" from the Georgian script, specifically the Mkhedruli version. In digital text, this character is commonly used to transcribe the sound "ŋ" or the English velar nasal sound, often found in various dialects and languages worldwide. While this specific Unicode value might not be widely employed, it plays a significant role for linguists, anthropologists, and researchers studying the Georgian language and its unique script. The Georgian alphabet, of which U+0ADE is a part, is classified as an Abugida system, which means each letter has an inherent vowel sound, making it different from the Latin alphabet used for English and many other languages.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2782 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+0ADE. 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+0ADE to binary: 00001010 11011110. 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 10101011 10011110
