Description

The Unicode character U+247A, known as the Parenthesized Digit Seven, is a typographical representation of the digit '7' enclosed within parentheses. In digital text, this character is commonly used to emphasize or highlight the number seven in specific contexts, such as mathematical equations, technical documents, and programming code. The Parenthesized Digit Seven is part of the Unicode block titled "Combining Diacritical Marks for Use with the Latin Script," which contains characters that modify the appearance of other Latin script characters. While this character does not have any direct cultural or linguistic significance, it serves a vital role in clear and accurate communication within the realm of technical documents and programming languages, where specificity and clarity are paramount.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9338 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+247A. 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+247A to binary: 00100100 01111010. 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 10010001 10111010
