Description

U+3024 is a unique Unicode character representing the Hangzhou Numeral Four (𗰄). This numeral belongs to the Hangzhou Numerals script, which originated in ancient China during the Han Dynasty. The Hangzhou Numerals were widely used on stone carvings and bronze inscriptions as a writing system for counting. U+3024 is often employed in digital text for typographical purposes or to display historical scripts. Its use in modern communication is limited, but it remains an important artifact of Chinese cultural heritage, offering valuable insight into the numerical system utilized in ancient China.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12324 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+3024. 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+3024 to binary: 00110000 00100100. 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 10000000 10100100
