Description

The Unicode character U+0B24, known as ORIYA LETTER TA, is a crucial component of the Oriya script, which is used to write the Odia language, predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Odisha. In digital text, this character plays an indispensable role by representing the consonant 'Ta' with the aspirated sound [tʰ] in the Odia language. As a member of the Brahmic family of scripts, ORIYA LETTER TA is deeply rooted in traditional Indian writing systems and carries significant cultural and linguistic value. The Oriya script is an abugida system, where each letter represents a consonant and an inherent vowel 'a', which can be modified by diacritics to represent other vowels. U+0B24 ORIYA LETTER TA contributes to the rich literary tradition of Odia language, encompassing classical works, modern literature, and various forms of media such as newspapers, books, and digital platforms. It is also essential for linguistic research, translation, and the preservation of cultural heritage.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2852 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+0B24. 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+0B24 to binary: 00001011 00100100. 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 10100100
