Description

The Unicode character U+3004, also known as the Japanese Industrial Standard Symbol (日本工業規格記号), is a crucial element in digital text, particularly within the Japanese language. It serves as an indicator for specific industrial standards and is widely used in technical documentation, manufacturing processes, and engineering fields. This symbol's importance lies in its role as a standardized representation of various industrial parameters, thereby facilitating communication and consistency across industries. The character plays a significant part in ensuring the proper application of quality management systems and industry-specific regulations in Japan, contributing to the overall efficiency and safety within these sectors.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12292 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+3004. 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+3004 to binary: 00110000 00000100. 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 10000100
