Description

U+1970 is the Unicode code point for TAI LE LETTER TONE-2, a character primarily used in digital text for representing tone markers in the Vietnamese language. Specifically, it serves as a diacritic to indicate the second of six different tones in the Vietnamese tonal system. The TAI LE script is utilized in several other languages, including Tay and Thai Le, which also employ tone marks. Unicode's adoption of these characters has greatly facilitated digital communication and text processing for speakers of these languages.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6512 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+1970. 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+1970 to binary: 00011001 01110000. 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 10110000
