Description

The Unicode character U+0C77, also known as the Telugu Sign Siddham, is an essential element within the Telugu language system. This unique character plays a significant role in digital text, serving as a phonetic symbol representing a specific sound or syllable when utilized in written communication. As a part of the Telugu script, which belongs to the Dravidian family of languages, the Siddham character contributes to the rich cultural and linguistic heritage of the region. While not as widely used or recognized as other characters within the Unicode system, the Telugu Sign Siddham remains an important component in supporting the accurate representation of the Telugu language in digital text, thus enabling effective communication among speakers of this language in our increasingly interconnected world.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3191 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+0C77. 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+0C77 to binary: 00001100 01110111. 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 10110111
