Description

U+0BD4, or CHARACTER 0BD4, is a unique symbol in the Unicode standard that holds significant importance in certain digital texts. This character typically serves as an indicator of specific linguistic or cultural contexts, often used within languages or scripts that require distinct representation beyond the standard alphabetic or numeric characters. As a result, its usage is predominantly found in niche applications where such representations are crucial for accurate communication and understanding. Due to its specialized role, CHARACTER 0BD4 has not gained widespread recognition, but it remains an essential element within the diverse spectrum of Unicode characters that together facilitate seamless digital text communication across various languages and cultures worldwide.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3028 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+0BD4. 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+0BD4 to binary: 00001011 11010100. 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 10010100
