Description

U+107D is a typographical character known as MYANMAR LETTER SHAN PHA. It is one of the 38 characters in the Myanmar Shan extension block, which comprises characters specific to the Shan language spoken by the Shan people in Myanmar and other parts of Southeast Asia. The Shan script is a syllabary that represents sounds based on their phonetic principles, with each character representing either a consonant-vowel or a consonant-cluster-vowel combination. U+107D specifically represents the consonant "p" and is combined with vowels to form syllables in digital text for various applications such as word processing, e-books, and websites catering to the Myanmar Shan community. This character plays a vital role in preserving the linguistic identity of the Shan people by enabling accurate representation of their language on digital platforms.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4221 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+107D. 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+107D to binary: 00010000 01111101. 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 10000001 10111101
