Description

The Unicode character U+0C17 represents the Telugu letter "Ga" (గ). In the digital text world, this character plays a crucial role in accurately representing the Telugu language, which is one of the Dravidian languages primarily spoken by over 56 million people predominantly in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. U+0C17 contributes to preserving the cultural and linguistic heritage of these communities by providing a standardized way for encoding their language in digital formats, allowing for effective communication and representation in various applications such as websites, software, and mobile devices. The Unicode Standard ensures that characters like U+0C17 are uniquely identified, enabling seamless interactions between different computing systems, platforms, and languages.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3095 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+0C17. 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+0C17 to binary: 00001100 00010111. 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 10010111
