Description

The Unicode character U+0813 represents the Samaritan Letter Rish, a symbol from the Samaritan alphabet. This ancient script is predominantly used in the religious texts of the Samaritans, a small ethnoreligious community that maintains its distinct identity and traditions. In digital text, U+0813 serves as a crucial component for accurately transcribing and encoding historical manuscripts and religious works written in the Samaritan language. The Samaritan alphabet is derived from the Phoenician script and has 25 letters, with each character holding unique phonetic and cultural significance. The inclusion of U+0813 in digital platforms helps preserve and promote the rich heritage of the Samaritan people, while also fostering cross-cultural understanding and appreciation for diverse writing systems.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2067 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+0813. 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+0813 to binary: 00001000 00010011. 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 10100000 10010011
