Description

The Unicode character U+2C71, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER V WITH RIGHT HOOK," is a typographical variation of the lowercase letter 'v'. In digital text, this unique character serves various purposes across different linguistic, cultural, and technical contexts. Typically, it's used in programming languages or text formats to represent distinct data types, symbols, or code structures. Although not commonly utilized in everyday writing systems, its presence can contribute significantly to code readability, making it a valuable tool for developers and programmers.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11377 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+2C71. 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+2C71 to binary: 00101100 01110001. 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:
    11100010 10110001 10110001
