Description

U+1A24 (TAI THAM LETTER LOW KXA) is a typographic character from the Unicode Standard, a widely adopted encoding system that supports the representation of text in most of the world's writing systems. The TAI THAM script, which includes this character, is primarily used to write the Thai language. The U+1A24 code point specifically represents the "Low KXA" letter in the TAI THAM script. In digital texts, its typical usage is for representing the specific phonetic or semantic properties of the "Low KXA" sound in the Thai language. This character serves an important role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural integrity when displaying, processing, or transmitting Thai text using digital systems. The Unicode Standard's extensive coverage of scripts like TAI THAM ensures that diverse languages and their unique writing systems are adequately represented in the digital realm.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6692 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+1A24. 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+1A24 to binary: 00011010 00100100. 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 10101000 10100100
