Description

The Unicode character U+2790 is known as the Dingbat Negative Circled Sans-serif Digit Seven. This typographic symbol has a crucial role in digital text, primarily serving as an alternative representation for the numeral seven within specific design contexts. It is commonly utilized in logo and branding designs, where it adds a distinctive visual style to denote the number seven. The Dingbat Negative Circled Sans-serif Digit Seven is particularly popular among graphic designers, who employ it to create visually engaging typographic compositions and unique identifiers for products or services. Its "negative" prefix indicates that it features an inverted or reversed design when compared to the standard numeral seven, giving it a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from other representations of this number. This Unicode character can be used with various programming languages and text editors that support Unicode encoding, making it easily accessible for designers and users alike.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10128 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+2790. 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+2790 to binary: 00100111 10010000. 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:
