Description

The Unicode character U+0A56 represents the "ហ" (kha) letter from the Khmer script. This script is used primarily in written communication within Cambodia and among Khmer speakers worldwide. The kha letter is considered an initial consonant, and when followed by a vowel sign, it forms a syllable. U+0A56 plays a significant role in digital text as part of the Khmer script, which is essential for maintaining cultural heritage, promoting language revitalization, and supporting effective communication among the Khmer-speaking population. The Khmer script has a rich history dating back to the 13th century, and its preservation is crucial for documenting and understanding Cambodian culture and history.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2646 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+0A56. 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+0A56 to binary: 00001010 01010110. 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 10010110
