Description

U+0F91, or TIBETAN SUBJOINED LETTER KHA, is a crucial character in the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character used in written languages across the world. This specific character plays an essential role in digital text, particularly within the Tibetan language. The character is often utilized in conjunction with other letters to form complete words and sentences in this rich cultural and linguistic context. Its primary use lies in the representation of the sound 'ka' when it is followed by certain consonants, thus enabling accurate digital reproduction of the traditional Tibetan script. Being part of the Tibetan language, it holds significant value for both local and international communities interested in studying or preserving this unique writing system and its associated culture.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3985 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+0F91. 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+0F91 to binary: 00001111 10010001. 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 10010001
