U+188D, known as Mongolian Letter Ali GalI Ttha, is a unique character in the realm of Unicode typography. In digital text, it primarily serves its role within the Mongolian script, which belongs to the larger family of Indic scripts. This specific letter contributes to the formation of words and phrases in the Mongolian language. Mongolian is spoken by millions of people across various regions including Mongolia, China, Russia, and other neighboring countries. The Mongolian script, which was developed in the 1920s and officially adopted as the national alphabet, has been crucial to the evolution of the language and its literacy. U+188D, as part of this script, plays a significant role in preserving and promoting Mongolian linguistic identity and cultural heritage. It is important to note that the Mongolian script, including U+188D, has a distinct writing system with its own unique set of rules and conventions. Therefore, understanding and using this character and others within the Mongolian script requires a knowledge of these rules. Moreover, the correct display and rendering of U+188D and other Mongolian characters are dependent on the proper encoding and support from digital platforms and applications. This ensures that accurate representation is maintained across various devices and operating systems.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6285 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+188D. 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+188D to binary: 00011000 10001101. 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 10001101
