Description

U+1071 (MYANMAR VOWEL SIGN GEBA KAREN I) is a typographic character primarily used in digital text for the representation of vowel sounds within Myanmar's Geba Karen language, which belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language family. In its role as a vowel sign, U+1071 serves to modify the pronunciation and meaning of surrounding consonants in text. The Geba Karen language is predominantly spoken by the Karen people in Myanmar (Burma) and Thailand, and has over 2 million native speakers. The character's accurate representation and utilization in digital texts are crucial for preserving linguistic and cultural identity within these communities. U+1071 plays a significant role in the development and maintenance of digital resources and materials related to the Geba Karen language, including dictionaries, educational tools, and literature.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4209 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+1071. 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+1071 to binary: 00010000 01110001. 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 10110001
