Description

U+1BAC, or the Sundanese Consonant Sign Pasangan Ma, is a typographical character primarily used in digital texts representing the Sundanese language, which is spoken mainly in West Java, Indonesia. This Unicode character plays a crucial role in accurately transcribing and preserving the linguistic nuances of the Sundanese script. The Sundanese writing system, known as Pallangan or Hanacaraka, belongs to the Brahmic family of scripts and has been used since the 13th century. The Pasangan Ma character is part of a larger set of consonant signs in the Sundanese script, each serving a distinct function to accurately represent phonetic sounds and diacritics. In digital text formats, U+1BAC ensures the correct encoding and display of these crucial elements, thus enabling accurate representation and communication in the Sundanese language online and across various platforms.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7084 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+1BAC. 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+1BAC to binary: 00011011 10101100. 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:
    11100001 10101110 10101100
