Description

U+1C1D is a typographical character representing the "Ha" letter from the Lepcha script. The Lepcha script is primarily used to write the Lepcha language, which is spoken by the Lepcha people of Sikkim and West Bengal in India. As an essential element in digital text, U+1C1D serves a crucial role in facilitating communication among the Lepcha-speaking community and preserving their linguistic heritage in the digital age. In typography and character encoding, U+1C1D contributes to the accuracy of representation of texts from diverse cultural backgrounds and languages, promoting inclusivity and respect for linguistic diversity.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7197 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+1C1D. 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+1C1D to binary: 00011100 00011101. 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 10011101
