Description

The Unicode character U+108D, known as MYANMAR SIGN SHAN COUNCIL EMPHATIC TONE, is an essential element in the Myanmar script, a writing system primarily used for the Burmese language. This emphatic tone mark plays a vital role in digital text, particularly in Myanmar's written communication. It denotes emphasis or contrast in spoken language by modifying the pitch of a word. U+108D is part of a set of diacritical marks used to indicate tones and stress patterns within the Myanmar script system, which is based on the Brahmic family of scripts. These tone marks are crucial for accurately conveying meaning in Myanmar's tonal language, where the same word can have different meanings depending on the pitch at which it is pronounced. The character U+108D holds a significant cultural and linguistic context within the Myanmar community and facilitates clear communication through digital platforms.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4237 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+108D. 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+108D to binary: 00010000 10001101. 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 10001101
