Description

The Unicode character U+1C30, known as the Lepcha Consonant Sign N, is a crucial component of the Lepcha script, which is used to write the Lepcha language, predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Sikkim. The Lepcha language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman family of languages and holds significant cultural importance for the Lepcha people. U+1C30, along with other characters in the Lepcha script (U+1C20 through U+1C46), plays a vital role in digital text by enabling accurate representation and communication of the Lepcha language on electronic devices and platforms. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard, which provides a unique code point for every character, ensures the preservation and promotion of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage. The technical context surrounding U+1C30 lies in its specific position within the Lepcha script, where it contributes to a systematic representation of phonetic properties and grammatical structures.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7216 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+1C30. 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+1C30 to binary: 00011100 00110000. 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 10110000 10110000
