Description

U+086E, known as the character "CHARACTER 086E," holds a unique position in Unicode's typographic landscape. This distinct symbol does not represent a specific character from any particular language or script; rather, it serves as a Control Picture character. In digital text processing, these characters are often employed to control various aspects of the output formatting or to signal special instructions to the system. The precise function of U+086E depends on the specific software and environment in which it is utilized. Despite its lack of direct cultural or linguistic significance, CHARACTER 086E plays a vital role in maintaining the accuracy and clarity of digital text by ensuring proper formatting and adherence to predetermined instructions.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2158 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+086E. 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+086E to binary: 00001000 01101110. 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 10100001 10101110
