Description

The character U+19C4 represents the "NEW TAI LUE LETTER FINAL M" in Unicode, a widely used character encoding system that supports text representation for a vast array of languages and scripts. In digital text, this character is primarily used within the context of the Tai Leu script, an ancient writing system originating from southern China. The New Tai Lue script, which incorporates the use of vowel diacritics and final consonant marks like U+19C4, was developed as a phonetic and phonological orthography for the Tai Lue language, one of the many Tai languages spoken by millions of people in Southeast Asia. The character "NEW TAI LUE LETTER FINAL M" is specifically used to mark the final consonant "m" in words within the Tai Lue language, indicating a crucial linguistic feature that helps distinguish different words and meanings.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6596 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+19C4. 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+19C4 to binary: 00011001 11000100. 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 10000100
