Description

U+0FDC, also known as Character 0FDC, is a unique character within the Unicode standard. It holds a special role in digital text systems, primarily serving as a control code for specific applications. In typography and computer encoding, this character is often utilized to designate a form feed or page break, effectively instructing printers or digital display interfaces to advance to the next page or section of content. While its usage might not be as widely recognized as other popular Unicode characters, U+0FDC remains an essential component in ensuring smooth text flow and organization within various digital platforms. Its influence can be found across numerous technical contexts, emphasizing the importance of precise character encoding in modern computing systems.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4060 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+0FDC. 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+0FDC to binary: 00001111 11011100. 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 10111111 10011100
