Description

The Unicode character U+2434, also known as the "CHARACTER 2434," holds a vital role in the realm of digital text. This specific symbol is primarily utilized to represent a lowercase Greek letter pi (π) with a superscript numeral one (1). It's part of the Unicode block called "Mathematical Operators" and is often employed within mathematical equations or formulas, particularly when denoting Pi, the constant ratio of the circumference of any circle to its diameter. The CHARACTER 2434 plays a significant role in various fields, including mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer programming, where precise notation of numerical values is crucial.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9268 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+2434. 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+2434 to binary: 00100100 00110100. 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 10110100
