Description

The Unicode character U+1C36, known as the Lepcha Sign RAN, is an important component of the Lepcha script, which is used in the Lepcha language spoken by the Lepcha people primarily in the Indian state of Sikkim and West Bengal. This particular symbol holds a significant role in digital text representation of the Lepcha language, enabling accurate communication and preservation of linguistic identity in the digital realm. Although not as widely recognized or utilized compared to more popular scripts, U+1C36 remains vital for maintaining cultural heritage and facilitating communication within the Lepcha-speaking community.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7222 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+1C36. 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+1C36 to binary: 00011100 00110110. 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 10110110
