Description

The Unicode character U+18A1, known as Mongolian Letter Manchu Ali Gali Dha, is a vital component in digital text representation, specifically within the realm of Mongolian typography and the Manchu script. This character serves a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity when digitally rendering texts written in these scripts. The Manchu script, which originated from the Jurchen script and was used to write several Tungusic languages such as Manchu, has historical significance due to its use by the Qing Dynasty. While the Mongolian script is the writing system of the Mongolic language family, including Mongolian and several other languages. The Manchu Ali Gali Dha character, along with the rest of the Unicode characters in this range, allows for the precise digital representation of these scripts, thus preserving and enabling access to valuable cultural and historical resources.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6305 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+18A1. 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+18A1 to binary: 00011000 10100001. 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 10100001
