Description

The Unicode character U+0A7D (CHARACTER 0A7D) is primarily used in the Ethiopic script, which is a writing system for various Ethiopian languages such as Amharic, Tigre, Tigrinya, and others. It represents a specific consonant or vowel sound depending on its context within a word. The Ethiopic script has been in use since around the 4th century AD and is one of the oldest writing systems still used today. This character plays an essential role in digital text, as it allows for accurate representation and communication of these languages in various digital platforms, software, and applications. In terms of cultural significance, the Ethiopic script contributes to preserving the linguistic heritage of the Ethiopian people, as well as promoting literacy and education within these communities.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2685 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+0A7D. 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+0A7D to binary: 00001010 01111101. 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 10111101
