The Unicode character U+0A00 (CHARACTER 0A00) is a representation of the character 'GURMUKHI LETTER GA'. It plays a crucial role in digital text, specifically in the Gurmukhi script, which is used to write the Punjabi language. The Gurmukhi script has been employed for centuries to transcribe various texts, including religious works and historical documents. In the modern world, U+0A00 (CHARACTER 0A00) is utilized in digital communications, document processing, and software applications that support the Punjabi language. Its presence in Unicode ensures accurate encoding and display of text across diverse platforms and devices.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2560 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+0A00. 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+0A00 to binary: 00001010 00000000. 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 10101000 10000000
