Description

The Unicode character U+19B0, known as the NEW TAI LUE VOWEL SIGN VOWEL SHORTENER, is a typographical symbol used primarily in digital text for the Tai Lue language. In this language, which is spoken by the Tai Lue ethnic group predominantly found in the northern parts of Thailand and Myanmar, U+19B0 plays a significant role in its orthography. The character serves to represent the shortening or elongation of vowels, an essential feature of the Tai Lue script, helping to accurately convey meaning and pronunciation within the language. As an expert in typography, it is crucial to understand U+19B0's role in this linguistic context to ensure proper transcription and representation of the Tai Lue language in digital environments.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6576 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+19B0. 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+19B0 to binary: 00011001 10110000. 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 10100110 10110000
