Description

The Unicode character U+0EF2 is a rarely used symbol known as the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER WITH REVERSED STROKE Y". This character has limited usage in digital text but holds cultural significance in certain contexts. It is often employed to represent the letter 'Y' with an inverted stroke, giving it a distinct and unique appearance. Although not widely utilized in contemporary typography, this character plays a crucial role in preserving linguistic heritage by representing historical forms of alphabets or regional dialects. In addition, its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital texts can accurately represent the vast array of scripts and symbols used around the world.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3826 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+0EF2. 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+0EF2 to binary: 00001110 11110010. 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 10111011 10110010
