Description

U+1A54 is the Unicode character code for TAI THAM LETTER GREAT SA, a letter from the Thai script. The Thai script is a writing system used primarily in Thailand, Laos, and certain other Southeast Asian countries. This script uses characters that are derived from ancient Khmer scripts and traditional Indian scripts like Brahmi. TAI THAM LETTER GREAT SA is part of a group of tonal markers or diacritics used to indicate tone in the Thai language, which has five distinct tones. These tone marks help differentiate between words that may have the same consonant-vowel combination but have different meanings due to their tonal differences.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6740 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+1A54. 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+1A54 to binary: 00011010 01010100. 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 10101001 10010100
