Description

The Unicode character U+0E7F, often referred to as the "private use" character, holds a unique position within the digital text realm. Unlike other characters that represent specific symbols, letters, or numbers, this character is designated for private use by organizations, corporations, or individuals. It allows them to create their own proprietary set of characters outside the standard Unicode table, enabling the development of custom typography and scripts. The utilization of U+0E7F is limited to non-public data and is not typically used in public communications or shared documents. In this manner, the character plays a crucial role in preserving the intellectual property and maintaining exclusivity for specific applications or industries.

How to type the ๿ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3711 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+0E7F. 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+0E7F to binary: 00001110 01111111. 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 10111001 10111111
