Description

The Gujarati Om (U+0AD0) is a unique typographic character used prominently in the Gujarati script, which is primarily spoken in the Indian state of Gujarat. In digital text, this glyph serves an essential role in religious contexts, particularly within the Jain religion. It represents the syllable "om," which is deeply spiritual and significant for its association with meditation, peace, and tranquility. The character is often used at the beginning and end of sacred texts, prayers, and mantras to invoke divine blessings and sanctify the content. Gujarati Om is also employed in various religious rituals and ceremonies as a symbol of purity and piety. Its cultural and linguistic importance highlights the rich history and traditions of the Gujarati people and contributes to the diversity of world languages.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2768 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+0AD0. 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+0AD0 to binary: 00001010 11010000. 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 10010000
