Description

The Unicode character U+3393, also known as the Square Ghz, plays a crucial role in digital text by representing an encased version of the letter "H" with a vertical stroke. This character is most commonly used in programming and coding environments to denote special cases or conditions within source code. It is particularly prominent in Japanese text where it serves as a typographical element in certain kanji characters, specifically those combining "ゥ" (U+30F7) and the "ヲ" (U+30C9). While it may not be widely recognized for its cultural significance, the Square Ghz serves as an essential tool for programmers and developers seeking to create precise digital text representations.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 13203 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+3393. 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+3393 to binary: 00110011 10010011. 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 10001110 10010011
