Description

U+1AF9, or CHARACTER 1AF9, is a unique typographical symbol in the Unicode character set, specifically classified under the Miscellaneous Symbols block (U+1F000 to U+1FFFD). While this character may not have a specific role in digital text or widespread usage, it represents an important aspect of the versatility and inclusivity found within the Unicode system. As a standardized encoding scheme, Unicode is designed to encompass characters from all languages and scripts across the world, including rare or obscure symbols. The presence of U+1AF9 within this expansive system highlights the commitment to accommodating diverse typographical needs in digital communication and information storage.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6905 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+1AF9. 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+1AF9 to binary: 00011010 11111001. 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 10111001
