Description

U+0A37 is a character code in Unicode that represents the letter "Ș" (capital S with comma below), known as "ș" in lowercase. This letter is primarily used in languages such as Romanian, a Romance language spoken by approximately 25 million people in Romania and Moldova. In digital text, U+0A37 serves to accurately represent this unique letter from the Latin alphabet, allowing for proper rendering in various fonts and text encodings. The use of U+0A37 is significant in contexts where accurate representation of Romanian text is crucial, such as translation, localization, and international communication. It ensures that typography remains faithful to its original form, maintaining cultural integrity and enhancing readability for native speakers and those learning the language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2615 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+0A37. 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+0A37 to binary: 00001010 00110111. 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 10110111
