Description

The Unicode character U+0F47, or Tibetan Letter Ja, is an essential element of the Tibetan script. In digital text, this character serves as a fundamental building block for constructing words and phrases in the Tibetan language. It plays a crucial role in facilitating communication within the Tibetan-speaking communities spread across India, Nepal, Bhutan, and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. As a part of the ancient Tibetan script, which dates back to the 7th century, the character U+0F47 has been instrumental in preserving the rich cultural heritage of the Tibetan people. Over time, this script has evolved, incorporating influences from both the Indian Devanagari and Chinese writing systems. Consequently, U+0F47 and other Tibetan characters have come to represent a unique blend of linguistic elements, reflecting the complex history and interconnectedness of these diverse cultural traditions. In the digital realm, accurate encoding and representation of Tibetan characters like U+0F47 are essential for ensuring that the language is preserved and accessed correctly in various electronic devices and platforms. The Unicode Standard, which encompasses a wide range of scripts and symbols from around the world, plays a crucial role in this regard by standardizing the encoding process for these characters, thereby promoting global understanding and accessibility of Tibetan text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3911 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+0F47. 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+0F47 to binary: 00001111 01000111. 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 10000111
