Description

The Unicode character U+1AF7 represents the character "ᴟ". In digital text, it is commonly used to denote a letter from an extended Latin script, known as "Latin Capital Letter Reversed Epsilon". This character is often employed in typography for its distinctive appearance, where it appears as a reversed version of the standard uppercase letter 'E'. While it may not have any direct cultural or linguistic significance on its own, U+1AF7's role lies mainly in its use for design and visual purposes. It can be used to create unique typefaces or contribute to creative typography in various digital platforms, such as websites, documents, and graphic designs. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that it is compatible with a wide range of software applications and operating systems, enabling designers and typographers to utilize this intriguing character in their work across multiple devices.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6903 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+1AF7. 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+1AF7 to binary: 00011010 11110111. 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 10110111
