Description

U+0070 is the Unicode code point for "LATIN SMALL LETTER P," a widely utilized character in digital text across various languages. It represents a lowercase 'p' in the Latin alphabet, a script with historical roots dating back to the Roman legacy and essential for modern written communication. The Latin script serves as the foundation of many written languages worldwide. In technical terms, Unicode is a computing industry standard that assigns unique codes or numbers to every character, symbol, or emoji, ensuring accurate and consistent representation across devices and platforms. Using U+0070, programmers and developers can guarantee proper rendering of the 'P' character in digital text, thereby promoting its universal usage across multiple languages and platforms. The "LATIN SMALL LETTER P" resides within the Basic Latin Unicode block (U+0000 to U+007F), a foundational component of the Unicode system that encompasses essential characters for digital communication, programming, and text documents.

How to type the p symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0112 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character p has the Unicode code point U+0070. 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.

    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+0070 to binary: 01110000. 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:
