The character represents a consonant-vowel sequence, where 'Ra' denotes the consonant 'R', and the vowel 'A'. In digital text, this Unicode character enables accurate representation of the Syriac script in various electronic platforms, such as websites, word processors, and other applications that support the Unicode standard. The Syriac Malayalam script has cultural and historical significance, as it reflects the rich linguistic heritage of the Malayalam language, which is one of the 22 scheduled languages of India. The use of this character contributes to preserving and promoting the linguistic diversity and cultural identity of the communities that speak Malayalam.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2151 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+0867. 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+0867 to binary: 00001000 01100111. 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:
    11100000 10100001 10100111
