Description

The Unicode character U+0A04 is a significant figure in the realm of typography and digital text representation. Known as the "REVERSED DOWNWARDS HAN SCRIPT LETTER A," this particular glyph holds a distinct role in facilitating accurate and meaningful communication across various languages and cultures, particularly those employing Han Scripts. It is instrumental in depicting the letter 'A' with its bottom-most portion extended upwards, thus reversing its usual orientation. This unique characteristic enables it to fit seamlessly within the context of other Han Script letters, thereby promoting cohesive digital text formatting and legibility. As a result, U+0A04 is an indispensable tool for typographers, programmers, and anyone involved in the creation or management of multilingual digital content.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2564 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+0A04. 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+0A04 to binary: 00001010 00000100. 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 10000100
