Description

The Unicode character U+0BF0 represents the Tamil number ten in digital text. In the Tamil script, a prominent Dravidian language spoken mainly in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the northeastern region of Sri Lanka, it serves as an essential numeral for counting and arithmetic operations. As part of the Tamil script, U+0BF0 plays a crucial role in written communication, particularly in regions where Tamil is spoken. The Tamil number system, like other Indian numerical systems, has its roots in the ancient Indus Valley civilization, which predates the more widely known Hindu-Arabic numeral system used globally today. In digital text, U+0BF0 enables accurate representation of numbers in Tamil, facilitating seamless communication and data exchange among users who rely on the script for their daily needs, including education, commerce, and administration.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3056 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+0BF0. 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+0BF0 to binary: 00001011 11110000. 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 10110000
