Description

The Unicode character U+0ED2, known as LAO DIGIT TWO, holds a significant role in the Thai script and other Lao-based languages. As part of the Thai digit characters block (0x0ED0 to 0x0ED9), this character is crucial for digital text representation in these language systems, enabling precise numerical expressions in various online and offline applications. The LAO DIGIT TWO, along with other digits, was added to Unicode version 2.1 in 1996 to support the script of the Lao language, which is mainly spoken in Laos but also used in parts of Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. In these regions, it plays an important role in digital communication, education, business transactions, and more, reflecting the cultural and linguistic nuances of the Thai script.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3794 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+0ED2. 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+0ED2 to binary: 00001110 11010010. 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 10010010
