The Unicode character U+1724 represents the "Hanunoo Letter GA" in digital text. It plays a significant role within the Hanunoo script, which is primarily used by the Hanunoo people of the Philippines. This particular character serves to denote the 'ga' sound in words, contributing to the phonetic structure and pronunciation of the language. Hanunoo is a lesser-known language with limited digital representation; however, its inclusion in Unicode (a computing industry standard for representing text) helps preserve its cultural heritage and facilitates communication among speakers of this unique linguistic group. The character U+1724 and other similar entries within the Unicode system contribute to the broader goal of fostering inclusivity and diversity in digital text representation, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of global languages and cultures.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5924 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+1724. 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+1724 to binary: 00010111 00100100. 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:
    11100001 10011100 10100100
