Description

The Unicode character U+1CD0 represents the "VEDIC TONE KARSHANA." This character is primarily used in digital text to denote a specific tone or pitch accent in Vedic Sanskrit, an ancient language of India dating back to around 1500 BCE. The Vedic Tone Karshana is a phonetic feature that distinguishes between homophones and has been crucial for the accurate interpretation of sacred texts like the Rigveda. In the Unicode Standard, this character falls under the Brahmi script family, which has a rich history and has significantly influenced the development of modern Indian scripts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7376 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+1CD0. 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+1CD0 to binary: 00011100 11010000. 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:
    11100001 10110011 10010000
