Description

The TELUGU LETTER AI (U+0C10) is a significant character in the Telugu script, which is primarily used for writing the Telugu language. This language is majorly spoken in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In digital text, U+0C10 holds a vital role, as it forms part of the script's phonetic alphabet system that allows users to type in the Telugu language using various devices and applications. Its cultural and linguistic importance can be gauged from its regular usage in written form for formal communication, literature, religious texts, education, etc., across the Telugu-speaking regions. The character contributes to maintaining the linguistic integrity of the language and facilitates ease of communication among the native speakers. In technical terms, U+0C10 is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims at providing a unique code for every character, symbol or emblem used in writing systems globally, thus promoting uniformity and interoperability across diverse platforms and software applications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3088 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+0C10. 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+0C10 to binary: 00001100 00010000. 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 10110000 10010000
