Description

The Unicode character U+1764 represents the TAGBANWA LETTER GA. In digital texts, this character primarily serves as a symbol within the Tagbanwa script, an ancient script used to write the Tagbanua language spoken by the indigenous people of the Calamian Group of Islands in the Philippines. The Tagbanua language and its associated script hold cultural significance for these communities, as they represent their unique heritage and linguistic history. While the usage of this character may be limited due to the rarity of the Tagbanwa script in modern digital communications, its presence within Unicode ensures that it can be accurately represented and preserved for future generations who are interested in studying or revitalizing the Tagbanua language and culture.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5988 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+1764. 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+1764 to binary: 00010111 01100100. 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 10011101 10100100
