In digital text, it serves as a fundamental building block for forming words and sentences in the Thai language, enabling accurate translation and communication among Thai speakers. Mai Tho is part of the Tai-vocabulary scripts family and is often used in informal contexts such as casual conversations, poetry, and song lyrics due to its unique, expressive sound. Its cultural significance lies in its representation of a melodic intonation that is distinctly Thai, and it reflects the rhythmic patterns inherent to the Thai language. Overall, U+0E49 plays an essential role in preserving and promoting Thailand's linguistic and cultural heritage through digital communication and information exchange.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3657 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+0E49. 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+0E49 to binary: 00001110 01001001. 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:
    11100000 10111001 10001001
