Description

The character U+0F5B, or TIBETAN LETTER DZA, plays a crucial role in the Tibetan language, which is part of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages. This particular character represents the sound "dz" and is used to construct words in digital text. As with many other characters in the Unicode Standard, U+0F5B contributes significantly to preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage and linguistic diversity of the Tibetan people. Due to its technical nature as part of a complex writing system that uses a combination of phonetic and logographic elements, U+0F5B is primarily used for encoding and display purposes within digital systems, such as word processors, websites, and mobile applications, to ensure accurate representation and understanding of Tibetan language text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3931 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+0F5B. 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+0F5B to binary: 00001111 01011011. 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 10111101 10011011
