In digital text, this character is used to represent the sound "ru" or "lu," and it appears frequently in Thai words that begin with these sounds. THAI CHARACTER RU is part of the Thai script, which is an abugida system consisting of 44 consonants, 15 vowels, and various tone marks. This character, like others in the Thai script, is influenced by a combination of ancient Indian and indigenous Southeast Asian scripts, reflecting Thailand's rich cultural history. The accurate usage of THAI CHARACTER RU and other characters in digital text is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the Thai language in the digital realm, contributing to effective communication and preservation of linguistic identity.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3620 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+0E24. 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+0E24 to binary: 00001110 00100100. 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 10100100
