Description

The Unicode character U+1099 represents the MYANMAR SHAN DIGIT NINE in the Myanmar Shan script, a writing system primarily used for the Shan language spoken by the Shan people of Myanmar. This digit is a crucial element in digital text for its role in numerical representation and calculation within the context of the Shan numeral system. Its usage can be found predominantly in the Shan-speaking regions of Myanmar, particularly in areas such as Taunggyi, Kengtung, Lashio, and Mandalay. While this character may seem unique or exotic to those unfamiliar with the script, it plays a vital role in facilitating communication and information sharing within the Shan-speaking community. The Myanmar Shan script, which encompasses characters ranging from U+1090 to U+109F, was introduced in 2008 as part of an effort to standardize the various regional scripts used in Myanmar, thus improving literacy and promoting cultural exchange.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4249 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+1099. 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+1099 to binary: 00010000 10011001. 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 10000010 10011001
