Description

The Unicode character U+3350, known as the Square Yuan, plays a significant role in digital text by representing the Chinese unit of currency, Yuan (RMB). This symbol is commonly used to denote values in monetary transactions or financial data involving Chinese currency. In the context of typography and linguistics, the Square Yuan symbol holds importance due to its usage in Mandarin-speaking regions, particularly China and Taiwan, where it is a widely accepted representation of the Yuan sign. The character's square shape distinguishes it from other currency symbols, contributing to its accuracy and clear communication in digital text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 13136 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+3350. 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+3350 to binary: 00110011 01010000. 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 10010000
