Description

U+1AFC, known as the Character 1AFC, is a typographical symbol that holds significance in digital text communication, specifically within the realm of Unicode, an encoding system used to represent characters from diverse writing systems. In digital text, this character is often employed to denote specific symbols or markers for various purposes such as delimiters, punctuation, or control characters. Although U+1AFC does not possess a direct association with any particular cultural or linguistic contexts, it serves as an essential tool in the efficient and effective handling of digital text data. Due to its technical nature, U+1AFC is primarily used by developers, programmers, and technologists who work extensively with Unicode systems.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6908 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+1AFC. 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+1AFC to binary: 00011010 11111100. 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 10111100
