Description

U+33C3 is a typographical character in the Unicode standard known as the SQUARE BQ. This character is primarily used in digital text for its role as a mathematical symbol, representing the unit cube (the nth root of 1). In various programming languages and computer software, it serves an essential function in mathematical calculations and formulas, particularly those involving cubic roots or other geometric operations. Despite being a less commonly encountered symbol, it holds significant relevance within the contexts of mathematics, computer science, and engineering, where its precise application is critical for accurate computations and analysis.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 13251 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+33C3. 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+33C3 to binary: 00110011 11000011. 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 10001111 10000011
