Description

U+0B65 is a character from the Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez, an ancient Semitic language used primarily in Ethiopia for religious purposes, specifically in the liturgy of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. The Ethiopic script is one of the oldest extant writing systems still in use today, originating around the 3rd or 4th century AD. In digital text, U+0B65 serves as a crucial element for accurately representing and preserving the rich cultural heritage and religious texts within the Ethiopian community. As a result, its correct usage and encoding are essential for maintaining the integrity of these texts in modern computing systems and applications. The character itself represents a specific phoneme or sound in the Ge'ez language, reflecting its unique linguistic context and contributing to the distinctiveness of this ancient script.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2917 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+0B65. 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+0B65 to binary: 00001011 01100101. 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 10100101
