Description

The Unicode character U+33DA is a typographical symbol known as the SQUARE PR (Square Paragraph Right) or SQUARE R (Square Paragraph Right). In digital text, this symbol primarily serves as a typographic element that indicates the position of the paragraph right in a typesetting context. It is often used in document formatting to help maintain alignment and consistency across multiple lines of text. The SQUARE PR is commonly employed in professional writing, particularly in technical documents or academic works where precise typographical control is essential for readability and clarity. This character has no direct linguistic meaning but plays a crucial role in the layout and design process. It is an integral part of Unicode, which aims to support a wide range of languages and scripts worldwide, demonstrating the versatility and universal applicability of this seemingly simple symbol.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 13274 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+33DA. 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+33DA to binary: 00110011 11011010. 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 10011010
