This particular script was introduced during the 18th century as part of the efforts to standardize the Thai writing system. The THAI CHARACTER SARA UU holds a unique position in the Thai alphabet, which consists of 44 consonants and 15 vowels, as it is one of these essential vowel sounds. In digital texts, U+0E39 serves to maintain the linguistic integrity of the Thai language by facilitating accurate representation of its phonetic and phonological properties. As a result, this character contributes to the cultural preservation and expression of the rich Thai heritage and identity, making it an indispensable element within digital texts that engage with or support the Thai language and its speakers.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3641 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+0E39. 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+0E39 to binary: 00001110 00111001. 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 10111001
