The Unicode character U+0B40 represents the Oriya Vowel Sign II (ଠ) and plays a crucial role in the digital text of the Oriya language. As one of the 17 vowel signs in the Oriya script, it is used to indicate the presence of specific vowel sounds within words. The Oriya language, also known as Odia, is primarily spoken in the Indian state of Odisha and holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance. The use of Unicode characters like U+0B40 ensures accurate representation of text and fosters effective communication and preservation of the rich literary heritage of the Oriya language in digital formats.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2880 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+0B40. 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+0B40 to binary: 00001011 01000000. 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 10000000
