Description

The Unicode character U+2432 is a unique symbol known as the "TRADE MARK SIGN" (TM). This character plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in legal and commercial contexts. Its primary usage is to denote that a brand or product is a registered trademark, offering legal protection to its owner. Although it may appear infrequently compared to other common Unicode characters, the TRADE MARK SIGN holds great importance for intellectual property rights and business identity. In digital communication and advertising, its presence signifies authenticity and exclusivity, assuring consumers of a company's commitment to maintaining the integrity of their brand.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9266 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+2432. 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+2432 to binary: 00100100 00110010. 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:
    11100010 10010000 10110010
