Where necessary, the version number can be extracted by first verifying the variant field bits 64 and 65 contain 1 and 0 respectively, and then extract the version from bits 48 through 51. UUID versions 7 and 8 can be identified by checking octet 8 for the values 0xE7 or 0xE8 respectively. The version number can then be used to inspect the remainder of the UUID according to the specification for that version. See [Section 4.1](https://uuid6.github.io/uuid6-ietf-draft/#variant_and_version_fields) for more information on determining a UUID version based on the inspected variant bits.
