Description

The Unicode character U+195F, TAI LE LETTER QA, is a unique letter in the Tai Le script, which was designed by Dr. Paul Tai as an alternative writing system for the Thai language. This script aims to facilitate phonetic accuracy and improve readability compared to the traditional Thai script. The TAI LE LETTER QA (Unicode U+195F) represents a specific consonant-vowel combination in the TAI Le system. In digital text, this character is used for accurate representation of Thai words that utilize the "qa" sound sequence. Although the TAI Le script has not been widely adopted, it holds potential for improving the efficiency and accessibility of written communication in Thai language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6495 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+195F. 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+195F to binary: 00011001 01011111. 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 10100101 10011111
