Description

The Unicode character U+1C32, known as the Lepcha Consonant Sign R, holds a significant role in the digital representation of the Lepcha language. This language is primarily spoken by the Lepcha people, an indigenous community residing in the Himalayan region of India and Nepal. As a consonant sign, U+1C32 represents one of the phonetic components necessary to transcribe and preserve the rich cultural heritage and linguistic nuances of this lesser-known language. The character's inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures its accurate representation across various digital platforms, fostering global accessibility and appreciation for Lepcha literature and other forms of communication.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7218 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+1C32. 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+1C32 to binary: 00011100 00110010. 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 10110010
