Description

The Unicode character U+0B36, known as ORIYA LETTER SHA, plays a significant role in the Oriya language, which is predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Odisha. It is part of the Bengali script family and serves as one of the 48 pure vowels or conjuncts in the Oriya alphabet. In digital text, it carries out its typical usage by representing the 'A' sound in the Oriya language. U+0B36 is used to maintain linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity when rendering texts in Oriya on digital platforms, including websites, applications, and documents. By incorporating this character and other Unicode values, developers and content creators can ensure that texts are displayed correctly and preserve the integrity of the Oriya language's phonetic structure.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2870 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+0B36. 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+0B36 to binary: 00001011 00110110. 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 10110110
