Description

The Unicode character U+0C2F, or Telugu Letter Ya, plays a vital role in the Telugu script, which is primarily used for writing the Telugu language spoken by millions of people in India and across the world. As a part of the digital text, it allows seamless communication between speakers of this language, enabling the preservation and propagation of their rich cultural heritage and literature. The Telugu script is an abugida system, where each letter represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel (usually 'a'). In the case of the Telugu Letter Ya, it is used as a consonant with the inherent vowel being 'i'. It also has a unique position in the Telugu orthography, as it can form a digraph with the following letter, producing a distinct sound. This precise representation of linguistic nuances in digital text showcases the power and flexibility of Unicode, which facilitates accurate communication across diverse languages and scripts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3119 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+0C2F. 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+0C2F to binary: 00001100 00101111. 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 10101111
