Description

The Unicode character U+0037, known as DIGIT SEVEN, is a fundamental numeral in digital text that represents the number seven. It serves various roles including mathematical equations, date formats, counting sequences, and more in diverse applications. In cultural contexts, the digit seven holds significant importance due to its association with divine elements such as the Seven Wonders of the World, Seven Deadly Sins, and Seven Sacraments in Christianity, symbolizing perfection and completion. Moreover, the digit seven is widely utilized across multiple programming languages and technologies for numeric representations, data sorting, and indexing, highlighting its versatility and indispensability in the digital realm. The Basic Latin Unicode block, where this character resides (U+0000 to U+007F), is a crucial component of the Unicode system and includes 128 essential characters that form the foundation for many other Unicode blocks.

How to type the 7 symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0055 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character 7 has the Unicode code point U+0037. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 1 byte because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0000 to 0x007f.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 7 bits within the final 8 bits and that it will have the format: 0xxxxxxx
    Where the x are the payload bits.

    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+0037 to binary: 00110111. 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:
