Description

The character U+0F2A, also known as TIBETAN DIGIT HALF ONE, is an essential component of the Tibetan script system. In digital text, this character represents a half value of the standard Tibetan digit for one. It is primarily used in mathematical expressions and calculations within the Tibetan language. Although not commonly seen outside of the Tibetan-speaking world, the TIBETAN DIGIT HALF ONE plays a crucial role in maintaining accuracy and precision within the numerical system used by Tibetan speakers. This character is vital for conveying exact values, particularly in disciplines such as finance, science, and technology that rely on precise numerical information. The Unicode standard ensures global accessibility and interoperability of this unique character, contributing to the preservation and promotion of Tibetan culture and linguistic diversity.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3882 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+0F2A. 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+0F2A to binary: 00001111 00101010. 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 10101010
