Description

The Unicode character U+1AA7, also known as the TAI THAM SIGN MAI YAMOK, is a specialized symbol used in digital text. Its primary function is to denote the Mai Yamok vowel sound in Thai language texts. This important typographic element helps accurately represent and differentiate various vowel sounds in the Thai language, which relies on a rich system of vowel diacritics to convey nuanced meaning. While its use may be less common due to the prevalence of digital text processing systems that don't support specialized scripts like Thai, U+1AA7 plays an integral role in preserving linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity within digital texts for speakers of the Thai language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6823 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+1AA7. 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+1AA7 to binary: 00011010 10100111. 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 10100111
