Description

The Unicode character U+0E6E, also known as හ, is a unique symbol with significant roles in digital text. It is predominantly used in the Sinhala language, which is primarily spoken in Sri Lanka. In this context, the character serves as a phonetic representation for the sound "ha" and is often employed in both written and spoken communication. This symbol's presence in the Unicode Standard, which aims to represent every character needed to express any human-readable text, underscores its importance within the Sinhala language and Sri Lankan culture.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3694 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+0E6E. 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+0E6E to binary: 00001110 01101110. 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 10101110
