Description

U+3095 is the Unicode character code for Hiragana letter 'ざ' (小さなカ), commonly referred to as "HIRAGANA LETTER SMALL KA." In digital text, it serves a crucial role in the Japanese writing system, particularly within the context of the Hiragana script. Hiragana is one of three scripts used in the Japanese language, alongside Kanji and Katakana, and plays an important role in representing native Japanese words and grammatical elements. The character 'ざ' represents a distinct consonant-vowel sound (/d͡zɐ/) and follows specific rules when combined with other Hiragana characters to form various syllables, facilitating the accurate pronunciation of words by readers and writers alike. U+3095 holds significant cultural and linguistic importance in the representation of the Japanese language, contributing to its rich literary and conversational tradition.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12437 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+3095. 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+3095 to binary: 00110000 10010101. 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:
