Description

U+0CCA, also known as KANNADA VOWEL SIGN O, plays a pivotal role in the representation of text in digital platforms for the Kannada language. As a part of the Unicode standard, it provides accurate encoding and display of this specific vowel sign. The Kannada script is primarily used to represent the Kannada language spoken predominantly in the Indian state of Karnataka, and by millions of speakers across the globe. Its presence in the digital space ensures that the nuances of the language are preserved for future generations. This Unicode character contributes to the rich linguistic diversity on the internet and digital platforms, thereby enriching our global digital communication landscape.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3274 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+0CCA. 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+0CCA to binary: 00001100 11001010. 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 10110011 10001010
