Description

The Unicode character U+0BCE holds a significant position in the world of digital typography. It is part of the Ethiopic Extended script, which is primarily used for writing Amharic, an Afro-Asiatic language spoken mainly in Ethiopia and Eritrea. In this context, the character U+0BCE represents the consonant 'd' in the Ethiopic script. Its typical usage in digital text includes the rendering of text written in Amharic, allowing for accurate representation and transmission of the language on various platforms. The character is crucial for preserving cultural identity and facilitating communication among speakers of Amharic in the global digital space. As an essential component of the Ethiopic Extended script, U+0BCE plays a vital role in maintaining linguistic diversity and promoting cross-cultural understanding online.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3022 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+0BCE. 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+0BCE to binary: 00001011 11001110. 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:
    11100000 10101111 10001110
