Description

The Unicode character U+0AB9 represents the Gujarati letter 'HA' (હ). In digital text, it is used to represent this specific consonant in the Gujarati script, which belongs to the Indic family of scripts. This script is primarily used for writing the Gujarati language, a major Indo-Aryan language spoken predominantly in the Indian state of Gujarat. The Gujarati script is known for its cursive and elegant style, with each letter having distinct forms depending on its position within a word (beginning, middle, or end) and whether it carries a vowel sign or diacritic mark. U+0AB9, or હ, plays a crucial role in preserving the linguistic heritage of the Gujarati-speaking community, as well as facilitating communication in the modern digital world.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2745 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+0AB9. 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

    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+0AB9 to binary: 00001010 10111001. 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 10111001
