Description

The Unicode character U+3027 is known as the Hangzhou Numeral Seven (汉字数字七). It plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the realm of traditional Chinese numerals. The Hangzhou Numeral System originated from the Song Dynasty and was used extensively during that period. This numerical system is unique as it is written using Chinese characters instead of Arabic numerals. Each character in the system represents a specific number, with U+3027 representing the number seven. In digital text, this character is often used to display or represent values, quantities, and other numerical data within the context of traditional Chinese literature and historical documents. This character carries cultural and linguistic significance, as it reflects the unique numeral system that was prevalent in China's past. The Hangzhou Numeral Seven, along with other characters from this system, contribute to a deeper understanding of Chinese history, culture, and the evolution of numerical representation.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12327 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+3027. 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+3027 to binary: 00110000 00100111. 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:
    11100011 10000000 10100111
