Description

The Unicode character U+19FA is known as the Khmer Symbol Dap Roc, a typographical symbol originating from the ancient Khmer script of Cambodia. This symbol has a crucial role in digital text, particularly within the context of the Khmer language and its historical literature. As part of a rich cultural tradition, it was used to represent a specific sound or phonetic value in the ancient scripts. Although the Khmer script has evolved over time and modern Cambodian uses the Latin alphabet, the Unicode character U+19FA still holds significance for those studying ancient manuscripts, linguists interested in historical language development, and digital humanities scholars working with early Khmer texts. The symbol's continued inclusion in the Unicode standard demonstrates its importance in preserving cultural heritage and ensuring accurate representation of these historical artifacts in modern digital platforms.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6650 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+19FA. 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+19FA to binary: 00011001 11111010. 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 10100111 10111010
