This character is part of the "Supplemental Arrows-C" block introduced in Unicode 5.1, which includes various symbols used for modifying or adjusting characters. While it may not have widespread usage across different languages or scripts, its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that it can be accurately represented and displayed on a variety of devices and platforms. The SQUARE HEKUTAARU does not carry any significant cultural or linguistic connotations, and its primary function is technical in nature, serving to aid in text adjustments where needed.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 13110 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+3336. 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+3336 to binary: 00110011 00110110. 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 10001100 10110110
