Description

The Unicode character U+0C70 is primarily used in the Ethiopic script for writing Amharic, one of the major Afro-Asiatic languages. This particular character represents a consonant with a phonetic value similar to "k" or "ch". In digital text, it plays a crucial role in accurately representing and preserving the original text's meaning when transcribed into the computer system. The Ethiopic script is unique as it uses a syllabary, which means that each character represents a consonant-vowel sequence rather than just a single consonant. This is an important aspect of the Amharic language and its literature. U+0C70 is an essential part of maintaining cultural identity through written form in digital media for Ethiopian communities and scholars worldwide.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3184 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+0C70. 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+0C70 to binary: 00001100 01110000. 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 10110001 10110000
