Description

The Unicode character U+1722 represents the "Hanunoo Letter U," which is a unique symbol in the Hanunoo script, used by the indigenous Hanunoo people of the Philippines. This letter holds significant cultural importance as it forms part of an ancient and lesser-known writing system. The Hanunoo script is composed of 15 consonants and 6 vowels, with U+1722 specifically falling under the category of consonants. In digital text, this character serves a crucial role in preserving and conveying the linguistic heritage of the Hanunoo people. The use of U+1722 contributes to the overall accuracy and authenticity of texts written in the Hanunoo script, allowing for the continuation of this unique language despite potential language shift or assimilation.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5922 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+1722. 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+1722 to binary: 00010111 00100010. 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 10100010
