Description

The Unicode character U+0A43 holds significant importance in the realm of typography and digital text. With its code point being 0A43, this character is a part of the Ethiopic script, which is predominantly used for writing Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia. The Ethiopic script is unique as it is abugida-based, meaning each letter represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel. U+0A43 specifically represents the character 'ə', which is known as "Amha" in Amharic. This character's typical usage is found in digital text where Amharic language content is being created or displayed, including websites, documents, and software applications. In the context of Ethiopian culture and linguistics, this character aids in preserving and promoting the rich literary heritage of the Amharic language and its various dialects, ensuring effective communication within Ethiopia's diverse communities. The accurate representation of U+0A43 in digital text is vital for maintaining cultural identity and facilitating global understanding of Ethiopian culture and history.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2627 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+0A43. 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+0A43 to binary: 00001010 01000011. 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 10101001 10000011
