Description

The Unicode character U+33AE represents the "SQUARE RAD OVER S" symbol in typography. This glyph is primarily used in digital text to indicate that a value is expressed in radians per second (rad/s). It serves as a crucial notation in mathematics, physics, and engineering, particularly when discussing angular velocities or rotation rates. The character is part of the SQUARE ROOT AND RADICAL SYMBOLS block within Unicode. Though this symbol may not have significant cultural or linguistic context, its technical importance cannot be understated as it aids in precise communication among professionals in various scientific and technical fields.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 13230 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+33AE. 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+33AE to binary: 00110011 10101110. 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 10101110
