Description

The Unicode character U+0B53 represents the Kannada letter "ഹ" (ha). This character is used within the Kannada script, which belongs to the Dravidian family of scripts and is primarily used for writing the Kannada language. Kannada is predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Karnataka and parts of Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. In digital text, U+0B53 plays a crucial role by enabling the accurate representation and encoding of Kannada texts, promoting cultural and linguistic diversity online. Its usage is essential in applications like text editors, websites, and software that require support for multiple languages, particularly within South Asian regions where the Kannada language is spoken.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2899 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+0B53. 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+0B53 to binary: 00001011 01010011. 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 10010011
