Description

The Unicode character U+0E5A is known as the Thai Character Angkhankhun. It holds a significant position in the digital representation of the Thai language, enabling the accurate and efficient encoding of text in its native script. As a member of the Thai alphabet, which originated from ancient Khmer scripts, U+0E5A contributes to the cultural and linguistic heritage of Thailand. The Thai alphabet is composed of 44 consonants and 15 vowels, along with various tone marks, and U+0E5A plays a crucial role in representing one of these consonants in written form. The use of this character reflects the rich history and linguistic complexity of the Thai language, which relies on a combination of consonants and vowel symbols to represent sounds. In digital text, U+0E5A is used alongside other Unicode characters to enable accurate translation and display of Thai language content across various platforms and applications, preserving its linguistic integrity for global communication and understanding.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3674 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+0E5A. 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+0E5A to binary: 00001110 01011010. 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 10011010
