Description

U+0FAE, the Tibetan Subjoined Letter Zha, plays a crucial role in the digital representation of the Tibetan script, which is primarily used for writing the Tibetic languages spoken in the Himalayan regions of China, India, and Nepal. This character is a subjoined letter, meaning it often combines with other letters to form complex consonants or modifiers in the Tibetan script. In digital text, U+0FAE ensures the accurate representation and preservation of traditional texts, contributing to the continuity of cultural heritage and knowledge. Its use in modern technology and digital communication helps maintain linguistic diversity and supports the efforts of language revitalization and preservation for future generations.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4014 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+0FAE. 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+0FAE to binary: 00001111 10101110. 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 10101110
