Description

The Unicode character U+0E6C holds a significant position in the realm of digital typography and linguistics. Representing the Thai consonant 'ค' (pronounced "khôm"), this character is primarily used in the Thai script, which forms part of the Tai-Kadai language family. Its usage is prevalent in written communication, particularly within the Thai language, where it aids in expressing a wide range of concepts and ideas. This specific character's prominence extends beyond its linguistic role, as it also plays a pivotal part in cultural contexts. Thailand boasts a rich literary history that spans centuries, and U+0E6C is an integral component of this heritage. Furthermore, the Thai script is not only restricted to the Thai language but is also employed in several other regional languages, reflecting its wide-ranging influence in Southeast Asia. The technical aspect of U+0E6C is equally intriguing. Unicode, which facilitates consistent encoding and representation of text across various platforms and programming languages, plays a crucial role in enabling global communication. Within this system, U+0E6C holds a specific code point that distinguishes it from other characters, thereby contributing to the accurate and precise digital interpretation of written content. In summary, U+0E6C is an essential character within the Thai script, serving both linguistic and cultural purposes. Its significance extends further into the technical realm where Unicode ensures its consistent representation across diverse platforms, thus promoting seamless global communication.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3692 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+0E6C. 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+0E6C to binary: 00001110 01101100. 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 10111001 10101100
