Description

The Unicode character U+1BEE, known as the Batak Vowel Sign U, holds significant importance within the realms of digital typography and textual representation. It is primarily utilized in digital communication and documentation to represent specific vowel sounds or variations in various Batak languages, spoken by millions of people across Indonesia, particularly in North Sumatra and surrounding regions. This character serves as a critical element for preserving the linguistic integrity and cultural richness of these languages, enabling accurate and authentic communication among speakers. In terms of technical context, U+1BEE follows the standards set forth by the Unicode Consortium, ensuring its compatibility across multiple platforms, software applications, and devices, thus promoting global accessibility to Batak literature and resources.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7150 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+1BEE. 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+1BEE to binary: 00011011 11101110. 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 10101111 10101110
