Description

U+0E76 is a unique character within the Unicode standard, specifically used in the Tamil script. This character holds significant importance in the digital text domain due to its role in representing distinct sounds in the Tamil language, which is primarily spoken in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the island nation of Sri Lanka. U+0E76 has a crucial position in maintaining linguistic accuracy, as it contributes to the precise representation of spoken language in written form. As digital communication and multilingual support become increasingly vital in our interconnected world, characters like U+0E76 play a pivotal role in facilitating accurate information exchange across different languages and cultures.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3702 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+0E76. 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+0E76 to binary: 00001110 01110110. 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 10110110
