The Unicode character U+1861 represents the Mongolian script letter Sibe U (ᠰ). This character is commonly used in digital text for typography purposes within the Mongolian language, specifically in the traditional script known as the Old Mongolian or Khalkha script. The script originated in the 13th century and has since evolved to include several variant forms, with Sibe U being one of them. Although not widely used today, the Mongolian script holds significant cultural importance as a historical representation of the written language in Mongolia. In modern digital text, characters like Sibe U contribute to the preservation and study of ancient scripts, providing valuable insight into linguistic and cultural development throughout history.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6241 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+1861. 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+1861 to binary: 00011000 01100001. 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 10100001
