Description

U+1A6F is a Unicode character representing the TAI THAM VOWEL SIGN AE. In digital text, it primarily serves as a diacritical mark for modifying the sound of a letter in the Thai script. The character is used to denote the "ae" vowel sound when placed over specific consonants, contributing to the rich and diverse phonetic structure of the Thai language. As part of the Extended Thai (UTHR) Unicode block, U+1A6F contributes to maintaining and preserving the linguistic heritage and cultural identity of Thailand's written communication system.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6767 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+1A6F. 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+1A6F to binary: 00011010 01101111. 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 10101001 10101111
