Description

The Unicode character U+1809, commonly known as the Mongolian Manchu Full Stop, plays a crucial role in digital texts written in the Mongolian Manchu script. Its primary function is to signify the end of a sentence or a pause in the text, similar to the period (.) in English. The character is essential for maintaining the linguistic integrity and readability of texts in the Mongolian Manchu language. Although not widely known or used outside of these specific linguistic contexts, U+1809 is an important aspect of digital typography, particularly within communities that use the Mongolian Manchu script.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6153 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+1809. 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+1809 to binary: 00011000 00001001. 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 10100000 10001001
