Description

U+1A93 (TAI THAM THAM DIGIT THREE) is a character in the Unicode standard, specifically within the Thai Pua supplement block. This unique digit represents the number three in the Thai Braille script, a system used to facilitate reading and writing among the visually impaired community in Thailand. As an integral part of this tactile communication method, U+1A93 serves as a crucial tool for translating written information into a form that can be understood through touch. Although not widely recognized outside of its specific cultural context, the TAI THAM THAM DIGIT THREE plays a significant role in enhancing accessibility and inclusivity within the Thai-speaking world.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6803 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+1A93. 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+1A93 to binary: 00011010 10010011. 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 10101010 10010011
