is a surrogate code point from the Basic Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of is Left-to-Right (Strong). It belongs to the strong left-to-right characters..

The Left-to-Right (L) bidi class is assigned to characters that are written from left to right. This includes most alphabetic characters from Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and other scripts that are typically written in this direction. The presence of L characters in a text influences the overall text directionality in bidirectional contexts.

Surrogate (Cs) refers to characters that are used as part of a pair to represent characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) in Unicode. These characters are used in UTF-16 encoding to allow for the representation of supplementary characters.

This character belongs to the Low Surrogates block. The Low Surrogates block is part of the UTF-16 encoding system used in Unicode to represent characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), which includes characters with code points above U+FFFF. Low surrogates are used in pairs with high surrogates to form a surrogate pair, which together represent a single character in the supplementary planes. This block is essential for encoding and decoding text in digital formats that use UTF-16, ensuring that all characters in Unicode, including those in supplementary planes, can be accurately represented..
