Description

The Unicode character U+1896, known as "Mongolian Letter Ali Galí Za" (Монгол дсэх ᠠ), is a script from the Mongolian writing system used primarily in digital texts for the Mongolian language. In its cultural and linguistic context, it represents one of the 27 consonants of the traditional Mongolian script, which has been in use since the 13th century. The Mongolian script is a unique alphasyllabary consisting of 64 characters that represent both consonants and vowels. U+1896 specifically is utilized to denote the 'A' sound in the Mongolian language, playing a crucial role in preserving and promoting the rich linguistic heritage of the Mongolian culture.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6294 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+1896. 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+1896 to binary: 00011000 10010110. 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 10010110
