Description

U+0EFA is a character in the digital text system that holds great significance in the Thai language. It is an essential element in the Thai script, which is known for its unique alphabet and typography. The Thai script is based on the Brahmi script of ancient India, and it has been adapted over centuries to fit the phonological and morphological characteristics of the Thai language. U+0EFA, or ับ in the Thai script, represents a consonant-vowel combination that sounds like "ahb" in English. The Thai script is primarily used for writing the Thai language, which is the national language and lingua franca of Thailand. It also holds cultural and historical importance, as it reflects the rich heritage and literary tradition of the Thai people. In digital text, U+0EFA serves a crucial role in accurately representing the Thai language, enabling communication and preserving linguistic identity in the age of technology.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3834 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+0EFA. 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+0EFA to binary: 00001110 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:
    11100000 10111011 10111010
