Description

U+33B9 is a unique Unicode character known as the SQUARE MV MEGA. This typographic symbol is used primarily in digital text, particularly in mathematical and scientific contexts, to represent the square root of the variable 'm' raised to the power of 'v'. It holds significant importance in these fields due to its role in expressing complex equations and calculations with precision. The character does not have any notable cultural or linguistic associations, but it is widely used in technical documents and publications within mathematics, physics, and engineering disciplines. Its precise representation contributes to accurate communication of ideas and concepts in these specialized domains, enhancing clarity and reducing room for error.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 13241 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+33B9. 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+33B9 to binary: 00110011 10111001. 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 10111001
