Description

U+1873 (MONGOLIAN LETTER MANCHU I) is a character in the Unicode standard that represents a specific letter used in the Manchu script. The character serves as a significant element in digital text, enabling accurate representation and communication of the Manchu language. Manchu, an extinct Tungusic language spoken by the Manchu people, played a crucial role in shaping the historical and cultural landscape of northeastern Asia, particularly during the rule of the Qing Dynasty in China. Despite its extinction, the Manchu script remains a valuable resource for linguists and historians studying the influence of the Manchu culture on Chinese history. The digital representation of U+1873 (MONGOLIAN LETTER MANCHU I) and other characters from the Manchu script contributes to the preservation of this cultural heritage in the modern world, facilitating research and understanding of its unique linguistic features.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6259 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+1873. 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+1873 to binary: 00011000 01110011. 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 10100001 10110011
