Description

The Unicode character U+0E0F is known as the "THAI CHARACTER TO PATAK". This character plays a significant role in digital text, especially within the Thai language. The Thai script is a syllabic alphabet, meaning each symbol represents a syllable rather than a single sound or letter. U+0E0F specifically represents the syllable 'to' and contributes to the phonetic structure of words in the Thai language. The character has cultural significance as well. The Thai script is deeply rooted in Thai culture, and its characters, including U+0E0F, are visually distinctive due to their unique combination of lines and shapes. These features not only contribute to the aesthetic value of written Thai but also aid in distinguishing Thai from other Southeast Asian scripts. From a technical standpoint, the Unicode standard ensures that characters like U+0E0F can be accurately encoded, transmitted, and displayed across different digital platforms and devices. This facilitates communication and information sharing among Thai speakers worldwide. In summary, the THAI CHARACTER TO PATAK (U+0E0F) is a vital component of the Thai language, serving both phonetic and cultural purposes while adhering to the principles of the Unicode standard for universal digital text representation.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3599 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+0E0F. 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+0E0F to binary: 00001110 00001111. 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 10001111
