Description

The Unicode character U+3375 represents the "SQUARE OV" symbol (◊). This typographical element is a geometric shape commonly used in digital text to denote various meanings, depending on the context of its usage. In certain technical applications, it serves as an indicator for square waveforms or oscillations, often found in mathematical and scientific documents. Additionally, the SQUARE OV symbol may be employed in design or typography settings, particularly in logo creation or graphic work, to impart a sense of symmetry or harmony due to its balanced form. Though it does not have direct ties to specific cultural or linguistic traditions, its versatility and aesthetic appeal make it a valuable addition to the Unicode Standard for diverse applications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 13173 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+3375. 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+3375 to binary: 00110011 01110101. 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 10110101
