Description

The Unicode character U+1B8E, also known as SUNDANESE LETTER CA, holds a significant place in the realm of digital text. It is primarily used within the Sundanese language, which is spoken predominantly in West Java and Banten, Indonesia. In this context, the character serves to represent a specific sound or phoneme in the language's rich oral tradition. SUNDANESE LETTER CA contributes to the linguistic diversity and cultural heritage of the Sundanese people, enabling accurate communication through written text. Despite its importance within the Sundanese language, this particular character may not be as widely recognized or used outside of its specific linguistic context due to limited exposure and the relatively niche nature of the Sundanese script.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7054 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+1B8E. 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+1B8E to binary: 00011011 10001110. 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 10001110
