Description

U+1BBB, also known as SUNDANESE LETTER REU, is a crucial character in the Sundanese script. It holds significance within the Javanese and Sundanese languages spoken predominantly in Indonesia. As part of the Java-based family of writing systems, this character is widely used in digital texts, particularly in the transmission of religious and cultural works, such as the Sundanese epic poem "Sakayi Calonarawih." Despite not being extensively employed in daily conversation, its use in formal contexts demonstrates a deep-rooted linguistic and cultural heritage. The character's technical classification under Unicode is an essential step towards preserving and promoting the diversity of global script systems, while also facilitating interoperability among digital platforms.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7099 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+1BBB. 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+1BBB to binary: 00011011 10111011. 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 10111011
