Description

U+1732, also known as Hanunoo Vowel Sign I, is a character primarily used within the Hanunoo script, which is predominantly employed in digital texts from the Buhid and Mangyan ethnolinguistic groups in the Philippines. The Hanunoo script is an abugida writing system, where each consonant has an associated vowel sign to represent a syllable. U+1732 specifically serves as the vowel sign I in this system, representing the vowel sound 'i' when placed after a base consonant. This character plays a crucial role in accurately transcribing and conveying the nuances of the Hanunoo language, which has significant cultural and linguistic value for the Buhid and Mangyan people. As part of Unicode's extensive library of characters, U+1732 ensures the digital representation and preservation of the rich linguistic heritage found within these communities.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5938 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+1732. 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+1732 to binary: 00010111 00110010. 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 10110010
