Editorial: Wrong hex code for RIGHT CURLY BRACE — “07hD” should be “7Dh”

Describe the bug

Clause: 7.10.5.2 “Operators and operands” Page146 Location: Paragraph 2 beginning “The operand syntax for Type 4 functions shall follow PDF conventions …”, sentence mentioning braces

Current text (excerpt): “… the entire code stream … shall be enclosed in braces { } (using LEFT CURLY BRACE (7Bh) and RIGHT CURLY BRACE (07hD)).”

Problem: The hexadecimal code for the RIGHT CURLY BRACE ‘}’ is incorrect. “07hD” is not a valid hex notation and appears to be a transposition/typo. The correct ASCII/hex value is 0x7D (often written in the spec as 7Dh). Unicode code point is U+007D (decimal 125).

Proposed fix: Replace “(07hD)” with “(7Dh)”. Optionally, for consistency and clarity, include Unicode code points for both braces:

“… (using LEFT CURLY BRACE (7Bh, U+007B) and RIGHT CURLY BRACE (7Dh, U+007D)).”
