Description

The Unicode character U+0F2D, known as TIBETAN DIGIT HALF FOUR, plays a crucial role in the digital representation of the Tibetan script. It is one of the 13 digit characters (U+0F2A to U+0F34) used in Unicode Block "Tibetan" which was added to the Unicode Standard in version 3.0 in 1998. The character accurately represents the half-numerical value of 'four' in the Tibetan script, enabling precise digital text encoding for Tibetan language materials and resources. The TIBETAN DIGIT HALF FOUR, along with other Tibetan characters, is vital for maintaining cultural integrity in digital communication and preservation of Tibetan literature, including sacred texts, historical documents, and contemporary works.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3885 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+0F2D. 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+0F2D to binary: 00001111 00101101. 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 10111100 10101101
