Description

U+196B is a specialized character in the Unicode Standard, representing the TAI LE LETTER E (ẹ). This letter primarily serves in digital text as part of the Tai Le script, which is used to write various ethnic groups in China's Yunnan Province. The Tai Le language belongs to the Dai branch of the Tai-Kadai linguistic family, featuring a rich tonal system. In TAI LE LETTER E, it holds an important role, as this character distinguishes between different phonological and semantic meanings within words. Despite its relatively low visibility in global digital communication compared to other scripts like Latin or Chinese, U+196B plays a crucial part in preserving the linguistic heritage and identity of Tai Le speakers, contributing to cultural diversity on the internet.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6507 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+196B. 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+196B to binary: 00011001 01101011. 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 10100101 10101011
