0x0000207B

0x0000207B is the hexadecimal encoding of the Unicode code point U+207B, which is named SUPERSCRIPT MINUS. It belongs to the Superscripts and Subscripts block of the Unicode Standard and is intended for use in contexts that require mathematical or typographic superscripts.

The character appears as a small minus sign positioned as a superscript, making it suitable for representing negative exponents or negation in superscript form. It is primarily used in mathematical notation and in technical typography where compact, elevated minus signs are needed.

Encoding and rendering notes: SUPERSCRIPT MINUS is supported by most modern fonts and text rendering systems. In text processing or web pages, it can be included using a Unicode escape or numeric reference, such as the hexadecimal reference ⁻ or the decimal reference ⁻. Differences in font design can affect its visual alignment with adjacent superscripts, so rendering may vary between fonts.

Related and nearby characters in the same block include other superscript digits and letters, such as SUPERSCRIPT ZERO (U+2070). These characters collectively support typographic conventions for superscripts in digital text.
