Description

The Unicode character U+0E23 represents the Thai character "Ro Rua" (โร หมู), a significant part of the Thai language's script. In digital text, this character is used to represent the Thai word for "pig," which holds cultural and linguistic importance in Thailand where pork is a widely consumed meat due to the predominance of Buddhism, which allows the consumption of all animals except cows. The Thai language is part of the Tai-Kadai language family, and it uses an alphabet known as Thai script or Siamese script, which includes 44 consonants and 15 vowels in its orthography. U+0E23 is crucial for accurate representation of text in digital media, ensuring proper communication and understanding among users who read the Thai language. The character is encoded in the Thai block of the Unicode Standard, allowing it to be used interchangeably across various platforms and software applications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3619 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+0E23. 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+0E23 to binary: 00001110 00100011. 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 10100011
