0x27C0

0x27C0 is a hexadecimal literal that can be used to refer to a Unicode code point in discussions of character encoding. When interpreted as a Unicode code point, it corresponds to the character U+27C0.

In the Unicode standard, U+27C0 resides in the Miscellaneous Symbols block and is named UPWARDS HARPOON WITH BARB UPWARDS. It is one of several arrow-like symbols included for specialized notation and typographic use.

Encoding and representation: In HTML, the character can be written as a numeric character reference ⟀ or ⟀. In programming languages, 0x27C0 is the integer value 10176; to emit the corresponding Unicode character, language-specific escapes are used, such as \u27C0 or \U000027C0, depending on the language.

Usage: The symbol is primarily encountered in technical typography, mathematics, linguistics, or other domains that employ oblique or directional glyphs. It is not a common punctuation mark in everyday text. Rendering depends on font support; some fonts may not include the glyph, in which case a fallback symbol or missing glyph indicator may appear.
