Description

U+1A86 is a typographical character, known as TAI THAM HORA DIGIT SIX. It plays a crucial role in digital text, specifically within the Tham script which is part of the Tai Hora language. The Tai Horas are an ethnic group native to Northern Thailand and Southern China. In their language, this symbol represents the numeral "six". While it may not be widely used in global communication, its importance lies in cultural preservation and the representation of the diverse linguistic expressions of different communities worldwide. In a digital context, characters like U+1A86 ensure accurate text encoding and facilitate effective communication for speakers of the Tai Hora language, contributing to the richness of human expression online.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6790 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+1A86. 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+1A86 to binary: 00011010 10000110. 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 10101010 10000110
