Description

The character U+1766, also known as TAGBANWA LETTER TA, holds significant importance within the realm of typography and digital text. This unique letter is a part of the Tagbanwa script, which is indigenous to the Tagbanwa people of the Philippines. As such, it is crucial in representing their language and culture, enabling digital communication and preservation of linguistic heritage. In addition to its cultural significance, U+1766 contributes to the technical aspect of text encoding, allowing for a more comprehensive representation of global languages within Unicode. By providing accurate digital representations of characters from minority scripts, Unicode expands accessibility and fosters greater inclusivity in digital communication.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5990 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+1766. 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+1766 to binary: 00010111 01100110. 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 10100110
