Description

The Unicode character U+1721 represents the Hanunoo letter 'I', a script used primarily in the Hanunoo language spoken by the indigenous people of Mindoro Island in the Philippines. This character plays a crucial role in digital text, as it enables accurate representation and communication of the Hanunoo language online and in software applications. The Hanunoo script has a unique cultural significance, as it is an example of a non-Latin writing system used by a minority ethnic group. It consists of 14 consonants and 7 vowels, making it distinct from other scripts that use the Latin alphabet. U+1721 is essential for linguistic research and preservation of the Hanunoo language, as well as for promoting multilingualism and cultural diversity in digital communications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5921 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+1721. 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+1721 to binary: 00010111 00100001. 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 10011100 10100001
