Description

The Unicode character U+1040 represents the MYANMAR DIGIT ZERO in digital text. This character is part of the Myanmar script, which is an abugida writing system used primarily in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) for the Myanmar language. In the Myanmar script, each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel sound, and diacritics are used to modify the basic characters to indicate changes in vowels or tone. The MYANMAR DIGIT ZERO is typically used as a digit in numbers, serving a role similar to that of the Latin numeral "0" in the international numbering system. While this character may seem like a minor detail within the scope of digital text and typography, it plays an essential role in preserving linguistic integrity and cultural identity for speakers of the Myanmar language. In terms of technical context, U+1040 is part of the Unicode Standard, which provides a unique code point for every character used across the world's scripts, facilitating seamless digital communication and exchange between different languages and cultures.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4160 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+1040. 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+1040 to binary: 00010000 01000000. 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 10000001 10000000
