Description

The Unicode character U+1B91, known as the Sundanese Letter Nyawa, holds a significant position in the realm of digital typography, particularly within the Sundanese language. The Sundanese script is primarily used by native speakers of the Indonesian language in West Java and Banten provinces in Indonesia, where it maintains strong cultural significance. The character's role in digital text is to represent the 'nya' sound in Sundanese, contributing to its phonetic structure. It is important to note that U+1B91 does not have a direct equivalent in the Latin alphabet and is exclusive to the Sundanese script. This character plays an essential part in maintaining linguistic diversity and cultural heritage, as it allows for accurate representation of the Sundanese language within digital platforms.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7057 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+1B91. 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+1B91 to binary: 00011011 10010001. 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 10010001
