Description

U+0F44 is a Unicode character representing the Tibetan letter "NGA". It plays an essential role in digital texts that involve the Tibetan language. As part of the Tibetan script, it contributes to encoding, displaying, and transmitting text within digital platforms. The Tibetan language, which primarily belongs to the Sino-Tibetan family of languages, is spoken by millions of people in regions such as Tibet, Bhutan, and parts of India. U+0F44, along with other Unicode characters, facilitates accurate representation of the language in digital contexts, enabling communication and preservation of cultural heritage.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3908 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+0F44. 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+0F44 to binary: 00001111 01000100. 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 10000100
