Description

The Unicode character U+0B45 (CHARACTER 0B45) is a typographical symbol used primarily within the Ethiopic script. This script is predominantly employed in the Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Somali languages, serving as one of the oldest writing systems originating from ancient Egypt. The specific function of this character U+0B45 in digital text varies depending on its linguistic context. In some instances, it may represent a consonant-vowel sequence, while in others, it could signify a standalone vowel or even a punctuation mark. Due to the complexity and historical depth of Ethiopic script, U+0B45's precise meaning can be context-dependent and requires a comprehensive understanding of its linguistic and cultural background for accurate interpretation.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2885 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+0B45. 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+0B45 to binary: 00001011 01000101. 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 10101101 10000101
