Description

The Unicode character U+0DB2 represents a specific symbol from the Tamil script, an ancient and widely spoken language predominantly used in Southern India and among the Tamil diaspora. In digital text, this character often plays a crucial role in preserving the linguistic integrity of written communication, facilitating accurate translation and representation across various platforms and devices. The Tamil script is a highly expressive and visually rich script, with its own unique set of rules and nuances that make it a valuable part of global linguistic diversity. By accurately encoding and representing characters such as U+0DB2 in digital formats, we can help maintain this cultural heritage and promote understanding between different languages and cultures worldwide.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3506 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+0DB2. 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+0DB2 to binary: 00001101 10110010. 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 10110110 10110010
