Description

U+183E, or Mongolian Letter Haa, is a unique character in the Unicode Standard, which represents a specific letter of the Mongolian script. In digital text, it serves as a fundamental component to convey meaning and express ideas in the Mongolian language. The Mongolian script, also known as "Khalkha," is predominantly used for writing Mongolian, particularly in the region of Mongolia and among Mongolic-speaking communities. As an integral part of the Mongolian alphabet, Haa holds a crucial role in maintaining linguistic continuity within the cultural context. The script itself dates back to the 13th century when it was developed during the reign of Genghis Khan's grandson Ogedei Khan. Over time, the script has evolved and expanded, adapting to the changing needs of the Mongolian language and its speakers. In terms of technical context, U+183E is classified under the "Mongolian" block within Unicode, which consists of characters that represent various letters, digraphs, and symbols used in the Mongolian script. The Mongolian Unicode block has been crucial for the digital representation of Mongolian text, enabling accurate and efficient communication across platforms, applications, and devices. In summary, U+183E or Mongolian Letter Haa is a vital character within the Unicode Standard that plays an essential role in representing the Mongolian language. Its cultural, linguistic, and technical significance highlights the importance of maintaining an accurate digital representation of scripts worldwide to support global communication and preservation of linguistic heritage.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6206 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+183E. 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+183E to binary: 00011000 00111110. 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 10111110
