Description

The Unicode character U+194C, known as LIMBU DIGIT SIX, is a crucial component of the Limbu script. This script is predominantly used to represent the Limbu language, which is primarily spoken in Nepal and parts of Eastern India. The Limbu script was developed in the 19th century by Bhakta Bajracharya, based on the traditional Nepali script. As a digit, U+194C serves as one of the ten decimal digits (0-9) in the Limbu script, representing the numeral value "six." In digital text, it's used to transcribe and encode Limbu language texts that require numerical representation, thus playing a significant role in preserving and promoting this unique linguistic and cultural heritage.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6476 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+194C. 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+194C to binary: 00011001 01001100. 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 10100101 10001100
