Description

U+1A98 is the Unicode character for "TAI THAM THAM DIGIT EIGHT", which is a unique numeral digit specifically used in the Thai script system. It plays an essential role in digital text, particularly when dealing with numerical representations in the Thai language. The Thai numeral system has roots in ancient times and still holds cultural significance today. Unlike Western digits, which are based on vertical strokes, Thai digits are horizontally oriented, making them easily distinguishable. U+1A98 is an essential character for accurate digital representation of numbers in the Thai language and supports the correct translation of various documents, texts, and digital content from and to the Thai script system.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6808 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+1A98. 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+1A98 to binary: 00011010 10011000. 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 10011000
