Description

The Unicode character U+0D78 represents the Malayalam Fraction Three Sixteenths in digital text. This character is primarily used in the Malayalam script, which is one of the 22 official languages of India and is predominantly spoken by the Malayali people of the Indian state of Kerala. The Malayalam script is known for its unique appearance and complex structure, featuring a rich set of glyphs and modifier characters that allow for the accurate representation of various mathematical fractions and divisions in text. In the context of the Malayalam Fraction Three Sixteenths, U+0D78 specifically denotes a fraction that is one-sixteenth of a whole unit when used in mathematical expressions or calculations within digital texts written in the Malayalam language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3448 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+0D78. 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+0D78 to binary: 00001101 01111000. 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:
    11100000 10110101 10111000
