Description

The Unicode character U+0E1D, or THAI CHARACTER FO FA, holds significant importance within the Thai language and typography. In digital text, this character is frequently employed to represent a consonant in the Thai alphabet, specifically the voiceless bilabial fricative sound /ɸ/. The use of U+0E1D contributes to the phonetic structure and overall coherence of written Thai. As part of the Thai script, this character is integral to the proper representation and comprehension of text within its linguistic context. Furthermore, the Unicode standard, which encompasses U+0E1D, plays a crucial role in facilitating interoperability and accurate communication across various digital platforms and applications worldwide.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3613 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+0E1D. 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+0E1D to binary: 00001110 00011101. 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 10111000 10011101
