Description

U+1056 is a crucial character in the Myanmar language system. It represents the "Myanmar Vowel Sign Vocalic R," a fundamental element in the Burmese script, which is used to denote vowel sounds in written Burmese text. This particular character plays a vital role in digital text communication and information processing, as it helps maintain linguistic accuracy in text produced or consumed by Myanmar speakers. The Unicode Standard, which includes U+1056 among its vast array of characters, is essential for ensuring the reliable interchange and display of text across different platforms, applications, and devices. Consequently, understanding and leveraging this character's role is critical to ensure precise communication in digital media involving the Myanmar language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4182 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+1056. 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+1056 to binary: 00010000 01010110. 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 10010110
