This character belongs to the Sundanese script, which is predominantly used in the Indonesian province of West Java, particularly by the Sundanese ethnic group. As one of the 32 letters that make up the Sundanese alphabet, the Sundanese Letter ZA represents a specific phonological value and contributes to the formation of words in this linguistic system. The Sundanese language is part of the Austronesian family, which encompasses languages spoken by millions of people across Southeast Asia. The introduction of Unicode character U+1B90 serves as a crucial step towards digital representation and communication for speakers of the Sundanese language. This standardized encoding system ensures that Sundanese text can be accurately displayed and processed across various platforms, enabling better accessibility and preservation of this culturally rich script.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7056 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+1B90. 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+1B90 to binary: 00011011 10010000. 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 10010000
