Description

The Unicode character U+1804 represents the "MONGOLIAN COLON". This character is an essential element in the Mongolian script, which is used to write the Mongolian language. In digital text, the Mongolian colon (U+1804) serves a critical role as a punctuation mark that separates clauses and phrases within sentences. This particular Unicode character is significant because it allows for accurate representation of the Mongolian language in digital contexts, thus facilitating communication and preserving cultural heritage. The use of U+1804 ensures the correct interpretation and comprehension of text by users who read or write in the Mongolian script.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6148 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+1804. 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+1804 to binary: 00011000 00000100. 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 10100000 10000100
