In linguistic terms, 'Nya' is an aspirated nasal consonant that carries significant cultural significance within the Gujarati language. The character U+0A9E helps maintain the integrity of this language in digital platforms and applications, contributing to its preservation and evolution in the modern era. By ensuring accurate representation of the Gujarati script in digital formats, Unicode characters like 'Nya' (U+0A9E) play a vital role in promoting linguistic diversity and facilitating communication across different cultures.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2718 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+0A9E. 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+0A9E to binary: 00001010 10011110. 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 10011110
