Description

The character U+336E, known as the IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOL FOR HOUR TWENTY-TWO, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in Japanese typography and telegraph systems. This symbol is part of the JIS X 0213:2000 standard and represents a specific time interval of 22 hours in the context of ICPC (International Code of Signs for Cables and Telegraphs) codes. The usage of this character can be traced back to the early days of telegraphy when time-based messages were crucial, as it provided a way to transmit precise time information over long distances. Although its use is relatively limited in modern digital communication, understanding and recognizing the IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOL FOR HOUR TWENTY-TWO remains important for those studying historical communication methods or working with legacy systems that employ cable telegraphy codes.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 13166 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+336E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
    Where the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+336E to binary: 00110011 01101110. Those are the payload bits.

  3. Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:

    Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
    11100011 10001101 10101110
