0x1C49

0x1C49 is the hexadecimal encoding for the Unicode code point U+1C49. This code point is part of the Lepcha block in the Unicode Standard, which spans the range U+1C00 to U+1C4F. U+1C49 represents a single Lepcha character used in writing the Lepcha language of the Lepcha people in Sikkim, India, and neighboring areas. The Lepcha script comprises vowels, consonants, diacritics, and punctuation encoded within this block, and it is used in digital text alongside other scripts.

Rendering U+1C49 correctly in digital text requires fonts that support the Lepcha script. Examples of such fonts include Noto Sans Lepcha and Noto Serif Lepcha; availability can vary across platforms and systems. In terms of encoding, U+1C49 is represented in UTF-8 as a three-byte sequence and in UTF-16 as a single 16-bit code unit (0x1C49).

Unicode provides a standardized approach for processing Lepcha text in software, including character input, text rendering, and data interchange. The Lepcha block is part of the broader effort to digitally encode the world's writing systems and to support linguistic and cultural preservation through computing.
