Description

U+185D, the Mongolian Letter Sibe E, is a crucial component of the Mongolian script. In digital text, it serves as a fundamental character in the representation of the Mongolian language, specifically in the Sibe (or Tüv) dialect. Its typical usage involves the phonetic rendering of certain sounds unique to this particular dialect. Although the script was historically used to transcribe classical Buddhist texts, today it plays an essential role in modern digital communications and print media within Mongolia. As part of the Mongolian script, U+185D contributes to the rich cultural heritage and linguistic diversity of the region, and its usage reflects a significant aspect of the Tuvan people's identity.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6237 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+185D. 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+185D to binary: 00011000 01011101. 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 10011101
