Description

The Unicode character U+0B70 represents the Oriya Issar (ପ) in the Oriya script, a member of the Indic family of scripts. It is used extensively in digital text for its role as a consonant in the Odia language, which is predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Odisha and has approximately 40 million speakers. The Issar character has an important cultural and linguistic context within the Oriya script system, as it is a part of a comprehensive and complex writing system that includes vowels (known as matras), consonants, and various diacritics. The Oriya script is derived from the ancient Brahmi script and has been used for over a millennium to write the Odia language, which is classified as an Eastern Indo-Aryan language within the larger Indo-European language family. In modern digital text processing, the U+0B70 character plays a crucial role in enabling accurate representation and rendering of Oriya script, facilitating seamless communication and preservation of cultural heritage through written form.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2928 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+0B70. 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+0B70 to binary: 00001011 01110000. 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 10110000
