Description

U+0B09 is the Unicode character code for Oriya Letter U (ଉ). In digital text, it serves as a unique symbol representing the letter "U" in the Oriya script, which is predominantly used for writing the Odia language, spoken primarily in the Indian state of Odisha. The Oriya script is an abugida system, where each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel, and the vowels are indicated by diacritics or separate characters. U+0B09 plays a significant role in enabling accurate digital representation and communication of the Odia language, which has a rich literary tradition dating back to ancient times. This character code contributes to preserving and promoting Oriya's cultural heritage and linguistic identity in the digital age.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2825 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+0B09. 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+0B09 to binary: 00001011 00001001. 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 10001001
