Description

The Unicode character U+0AAD is known as "GUJARATI LETTER BHA" and plays a crucial role in the Gujarati language, which is primarily spoken in the Indian state of Gujarat. In digital text, this character typically represents the consonant 'Bha' (ב), one of the 46 primary consonants (Vowels are not included in this count) in the Gujarati script that is part of the Indic family of scripts. This unique character carries significant cultural and linguistic weight as it helps to convey meaningful ideas, emotions, and stories across generations within the Gujarati-speaking community. The Gujarati script itself is a rich and vibrant writing system that has been in use for over a thousand years, with its origins traced back to the 10th century AD. In terms of technical context, U+0AAD is part of the Gujarati block of the Unicode Standard, which consists of code points for over 1,112 characters required to represent the modern written form of the Gujarati language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2733 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+0AAD. 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+0AAD to binary: 00001010 10101101. 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 10101010 10101101
