Description

The Unicode character U+1869, known as MONGOLIAN LETTER SIBE DA, plays a vital role in digital text pertaining to the Mongolian script. It is one of the 30 unique characters in the Mongolian Extended script block (U+1800-U+18AF), which is an extension of the traditional Mongolian script. This script has been used for writing various Mongolian languages, primarily Khalkha and Chakhar, but it can also be applied to other Mongolic and non-Mongolic languages with some modifications. The Mongolian script originated from the Old Uighur script of the Turkic peoples in Central Asia during the 13th century. It evolved further into several distinct scripts used by different Mongol tribes, including the Khalkha, Chakhar, and Dörben scripts. Over time, these scripts have been standardized and unified under a single Mongolian script system. The MONGOLIAN LETTER SIBE DA is used to represent a specific sound in the Mongolian language, similar to other letters in the script that individually or in combination with others form words and phrases. The usage of this character aids in preserving cultural heritage and facilitating communication among speakers of Mongolian languages. Despite the prevalence of digital platforms and keyboards, the physical representation of MONGOLIAN LETTER SIBE DA is noteworthy for its unique design. Each character consists of a basic form, called a consonant, followed by an optional diacritic, known as a vowel or modifier, which indicates the sound's pronunciation. In summary, U+1869, MONGOLIAN LETTER SIBE DA, is a crucial component of digital text in the Mongolian Extended script block, contributing to linguistic expression and cultural preservation for Mongolian languages. Its roots are embedded in the historical evolution of Mongolian scripts, and its use helps maintain the rich heritage of these languages while enabling communication among speakers.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6249 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+1869. 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+1869 to binary: 00011000 01101001. 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 10101001
