In this context, U+1769 serves as a phonetic representation of a specific sound or syllable within the Tagbanwa language. The character is an essential component of the script's functionality and allows for accurate transmission and interpretation of the spoken language through written form. Due to its cultural and linguistic significance, the TAGBANWA LETTER PA plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting the identity and heritage of the Tagbanuwa people. In terms of technical context, U+1769 adheres to Unicode's standardized encoding framework, ensuring seamless integration with digital platforms and applications that support this encoding system.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5993 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+1769. 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+1769 to binary: 00010111 01101001. 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 10011101 10101001
