Description

The Thai Character Sarfa II (U+0E35) is a crucial component of the Thai script, which has been used for written communication in Thailand since at least the 13th century. In digital text, it serves as an essential character in the representation of the Thai language. Thai script is an abugida system where each syllable's initial consonant is represented by a single character, followed by a vowel marker diacritic. U+0E35 represents the consonant-vowel combination "ฎ" (Sara II) in the Thai script. Its typical usage involves being combined with other diacritics to form various other syllables and words within the Thai language. The Thai script is written from left to right, and the presence of U+0E35 in a given text indicates the pronunciation of certain syllables within that context. As part of an internationally recognized standard (Unicode), it enables accurate representation of the Thai language across different digital platforms and communication channels, thus playing a vital role in maintaining linguistic integrity.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3637 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+0E35. 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+0E35 to binary: 00001110 00110101. 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 10110101
