Description

The Unicode character U+000B, also known as the LINE TABULATION (LF), is a control character of crucial significance in digital text documents. It serves to initiate a new line or paragraph across various platforms and programming languages. Historically rooted from the ASCII standard as Control M (Ctrl+Z), it plays an essential role in managing line breaks within text data. The LINE TABULATION character is often paired with the CARRIAGE RETURN (CR) character, U+000D, to control both horizontal and vertical text formatting for accurate presentation of text documents on multiple devices and applications while ensuring compatibility across different operating systems. The LF character lies within the Basic Latin Unicode block, a foundational component of the Unicode system encompassing 128 essential characters. The LINE TABULATION (LF) character has historical roots in the ASCII standard and continues to be an integral part of modern digital communication due to its role in controlling line breaks across various platforms and applications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0011 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+000B. 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.

    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+000B to binary: 00001011. 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:
