Description

The Unicode character U+1AE8 (CHARACTER 1AE8) holds a significant position in the realm of typography and digital text. It is primarily used as a unique identifier or delimiter within various programming languages, data formats, and encoding systems. This character assists in the organization of information and helps prevent data corruption or misinterpretation during data transmission and storage. In some contexts, it may be utilized as a specific glyph or symbol, though its primary role remains as an essential component for efficient data handling. It is not associated with any particular cultural or linguistic background, but rather serves as a universal tool to maintain the integrity of digital text across different platforms and systems.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6888 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+1AE8. 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+1AE8 to binary: 00011010 11101000. 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:
    11100001 10101011 10101000
