Description

The Unicode character U+0E78 is a rare and unique symbol in the realm of typography, representing a specific character from an alphabet that is not widely used in modern digital communication. While its usage in digital text might be limited, it holds great significance in certain cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts. In particular, this character is part of the Thaana script, which is primarily used for writing the Dhivehi language in the Maldives. The Thaana script, also known as Thibet or Thibodi, has a history dating back to the 12th century and represents one of the three major scripts developed in the Indian Ocean region during this time. Despite its limited usage, the character U+0E78 serves as an important symbol of cultural preservation and linguistic diversity in the digital world.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3704 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+0E78. 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+0E78 to binary: 00001110 01111000. 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 10111000
