This script primarily serves as a means of writing the Telugu language, which is predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh and the southeastern region of India. As part of the Brahmic family of scripts, it has deep roots in ancient Indic writing systems and plays a vital role in digital text processing, especially for those who communicate in Telugu or study its rich linguistic heritage. In typography, U+0C15 contributes to accurate representation and understanding of written works in the language. Its precise usage in digital text ensures the correct rendering of Telugu texts across various platforms and devices, thus preserving the cultural nuances and linguistic subtleties inherent to this Dravidian language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3093 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+0C15. 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+0C15 to binary: 00001100 00010101. 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 10010101
