Description

The Unicode character U+248E represents the digit seven followed by a full stop. This specific character is part of a set of numerals used in subscript form (U+2470 to U+24FE), which were designed for mathematical notation and other applications requiring subscript text. The U+248E character is often utilized in digital texts, particularly within the context of mathematical equations or scientific documents where subscript representation of numbers is necessary. Its primary function is to denote the digit seven followed immediately by a full stop, providing an important distinction from the standard numeral '7' without any punctuation.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9358 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+248E. 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+248E to binary: 00100100 10001110. 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:
    11100010 10010010 10001110
