Description

The Unicode character U+1AB7, known as the COMBINING OPEN MARK BELOW, serves a specific role in digital typography. It is often used in combination with other characters to create unique visual effects or to modify diacritics and accents within text. Although it might not be as widely recognized as other Unicode characters, its presence in various fonts demonstrates the versatility of Unicode in representing a vast array of symbols and typographical elements. The COMBINING OPEN MARK BELOW is an essential component for those working with specialized typography or creating customized character combinations for specific linguistic or cultural contexts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6839 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+1AB7. 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+1AB7 to binary: 00011010 10110111. 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 10101010 10110111
