Description

The Unicode character U+0ED7 represents the Lao digit seven (ອື່ງ), which is used in the numeral system of the Lao language, spoken by approximately 3 million people primarily in Laos and northeastern Thailand. In digital text, this symbol serves as a numerical digit with a value of seven, playing a crucial role in various applications like accounting, finance, and mathematics within the Lao-speaking community. The Lao script is an abugida system, where each syllable is composed of a consonant followed by a vowel, and U+0ED7 contributes to this system as part of numeric values. As with other digits in the Lao script, U+0ED7 retains its unique typographic style, which distinguishes it from its counterparts in other scripts, such as Arabic or Devanagari.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3799 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+0ED7. 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+0ED7 to binary: 00001110 11010111. 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 10010111
