Description

U+1886, or Mongolian Letter Ali Galï Three Baluða, is a character within the Unicode standard that holds significance in digital text representation for the Mongolian script. Specifically, it belongs to the "Mongolian Supplement" block, which was added to Unicode 4.1 in 2005 to include additional characters needed for full coverage of the Mongolian script. The Ali Galï series of letters are unique in that they only appear at the end of a syllable and represent a final consonant, modifying the preceding vowel. In digital texts, U+1886 is used to accurately represent these characters, allowing for proper rendering of Mongolian text across different platforms and devices. While it may not be widely recognized outside of its cultural context, U+1886 plays a crucial role in maintaining the linguistic integrity of Mongolian digital texts, reflecting the richness and complexity of this unique script.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6278 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+1886. 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+1886 to binary: 00011000 10000110. 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 10100010 10000110
