Description

The Unicode character U+1AF1 is a specialized symbol used primarily in digital text for its unique encoding value. It does not have any typical usage or role in text formatting, as it lies within the private use area of Unicode, which is reserved for characters that are not assigned general purpose meaning or usage. This means that its cultural, linguistic, or technical context is quite limited. The U+1AF1 character, like others in the private use area, can be used for custom or proprietary purposes, such as within a specific application, software, or system, but it is not widely recognized or utilized for general communication or information sharing. As a result, its primary significance lies in its unique identification rather than any inherent meaning or function.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6897 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+1AF1. 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+1AF1 to binary: 00011010 11110001. 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 10110001
