Description

The character U+0FA1, known as the Tibetan Subjoined Letter DA, plays a significant role in the digital representation of the Tibetan script. As a part of the Unicode Standard, it contributes to the accurate encoding and display of text in the Tibetan language, which is primarily spoken in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China and parts of India. The character U+0FA1, specifically, represents the subjoined form of the letter "DA" in the Tibetan script, used for both consonants and vowels. This allows for proper phonetic rendering and comprehension in digital text, ensuring linguistic accuracy and cultural preservation.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4001 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+0FA1. 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+0FA1 to binary: 00001111 10100001. 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 10111110 10100001
