Description

U+10CB is a character from the Unicode standard, which represents a wide range of characters used across multiple languages, symbols, and scripts. In the case of U+10CB, it signifies an important element in digital text - the "Right-to-Left Override" (RLO) control character. This character is crucial in typography for determining the directionality of text, particularly when dealing with right-to-left (RTL) languages such as Hebrew, Arabic, or Persian. The RLO character helps ensure that text displays correctly on digital platforms by overriding the default left-to-right direction, allowing users to create visually appealing and contextually accurate content in various languages.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4299 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+10CB. 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+10CB to binary: 00010000 11001011. 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 10000011 10001011
