Description

The Unicode character U+0B2C, known as ORIYA LETTER BA, is an essential element within the Oriya script, a writing system predominantly used for the Odia language in India. This typographical character plays a vital role in digital text, allowing for the accurate representation and communication of the Odia language on digital platforms, software applications, and websites. The Oriya script, which belongs to the Brahmic family of scripts, has a rich history that dates back to the 1st century AD. As an integral part of this ancient writing system, U+0B2C (ORIYA LETTER BA) contributes significantly to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Odia-speaking communities in India.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2860 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+0B2C. 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+0B2C to binary: 00001011 00101100. 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 10101100 10101100
