Its primary function lies within linguistic and technical contexts where it is utilized to combine the right arrowhead with the downward-facing arrowhead, creating an intricate symbol that can be employed for specific visual effects or to convey unique ideas in typographical design. Although this character may not have a prominent place in general usage, its existence exemplifies the expansive variety of symbols and characters available within the Unicode standard, highlighting the capacity for digital text to represent diverse expressions across various languages and disciplines.

How to type the ᷿ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7679 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+1DFF. 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+1DFF to binary: 00011101 11111111. 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:
    11100001 10110111 10111111
