Description

U+0ADC, also known as the Character 0ADC, is a Unicode character code that holds significant importance in digital typography. It represents an obscure character often used in specialized programming and coding environments. The typical usage of this character is to serve as a placeholder or delimiter in text-based data streams, particularly in telecommunication protocols and data exchange formats. While it may not be commonly found in everyday language or cultural contexts, its use in certain technical fields, such as telemetry data and satellite communication, highlights the versatility of Unicode character set. This character is a testament to the expansive nature of Unicode, which accommodates a vast array of characters for diverse applications across languages and industries.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2780 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+0ADC. 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+0ADC to binary: 00001010 11011100. 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:
    11100000 10101011 10011100
