Description

The Mongolian Letter Todo Ba (U+184B) is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, serving as a crucial element in the Mongolian script. In digital text, it plays an essential role by representing the consonant-final Todo Ba sound in the Mongolian language, which belongs to the Mongolic branch of the Altaic language family. This letter is primarily used in the Mongolian alphabet, also known as "Кхарга" or "Хараг", and forms part of a set of 30 characters. The Mongolian script is widely employed for writing both literary and colloquial Mongolian, which has approximately 6 million speakers globally. Although not as widely known internationally compared to other scripts, the Mongolian script is rich in history, with its origins dating back to the 13th century when it was developed under the influence of the Uighur script by the Mongol Empire's order of Genghis Khan. As a result, the use of the Mongolian Letter Todo Ba contributes significantly to preserving and promoting the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Mongolian people.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6219 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+184B. 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+184B to binary: 00011000 01001011. 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 10001011
