Description

The Unicode character U+186B, represented by the Mongolian letter Sibe FA (᠟), is an integral component of the Mongolian script system. This script predominantly serves in digital text for representing the Mongolian language, which is primarily spoken in Mongolia and some parts of China, Russia, and other neighboring countries. In a linguistic context, the character U+186B plays a significant role as it helps to convey specific phonetic and grammatical aspects of the Mongolian language. It represents the sound "s" or "sh" in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). However, this letter is less common compared to other letters in the script system due to its usage in Sibe dialects, which are considered part of the larger Mongolic language family. As a result, U+186B's usage may vary depending on regional language variations and modern language development efforts aimed at preserving and promoting linguistic diversity.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6251 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+186B. 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+186B to binary: 00011000 01101011. 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 10101011
