Description

U+0C61, known as TELUGU LETTER VOCALIC LL, holds a significant position in the Telugu script, which is primarily used for writing the Telugu language. The Telugu language predominantly spoken by the Telugu people from the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, as well as by the Telugu diaspora across various countries. This character, just like other characters in the Telugu script, is used to represent a particular sound or phoneme when used in conjunction with consonant letters. The Telugu script, of which U+0C61 is a part, is an abugida system where each character has both an inherent consonantal sound as well as the capability to modify the sounds of adjacent characters. This characteristic makes the script highly efficient for writing in the Telugu language, which is known for its rich phonetic inventory. In digital text, U+0C61 serves as a fundamental building block to represent and communicate ideas, thoughts, and information in the Telugu language. The use of this character contributes significantly to the cultural, linguistic, and technical richness of the Telugu script.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3169 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+0C61. 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+0C61 to binary: 00001100 01100001. 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 10100001
