Description

U+0E4D, the THAI CHARACTER NIKHAHIT, is a crucial component of the Thai script in digital text communication. As a fundamental Thai character, it serves to represent specific sounds, phonemes, and linguistic structures within the Thai language. The Nikhahit symbol plays an essential role in preserving cultural identity, as it allows speakers of the Thai language to communicate effectively through written text. Additionally, its accurate representation is vital for enabling proper natural language processing algorithms, translation services, and digital communication tools that are used globally. As a result, U+0E4D contributes significantly to the richness and diversity of human languages in the digital realm.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3661 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+0E4D. 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+0E4D to binary: 00001110 01001101. 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 10001101
