Description

U+19C5, or NEW TAI LUE LETTER FINAL K, is a specialized character used primarily in digital typography for the Tai Lue script, a writing system belonging to the ethnic minority groups of Southwest China's Yunnan province. In its typical usage, this Unicode character serves as a final consonant marker for words in the Tai Lue language, indicating that the word ends with a specific "K" sound. This role in the linguistic structure contributes to the accurate and efficient rendering of text in digital formats, enabling better communication and preservation of cultural identity among speakers of the Tai Lue language. Despite its niche usage, U+19C5 plays an important part in representing the rich linguistic heritage of the Tai Lue people and facilitating the preservation of their unique script in the digital era.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6597 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+19C5. 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+19C5 to binary: 00011001 11000101. 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 10100111 10000101
