Description

The Unicode character U+244D represents the "TRADE MARK SIGN" (™) in typography. This symbol is commonly used in digital text to denote a trademarked brand, product, or service. It serves as an indicator of intellectual property rights and helps protect the uniqueness of a specific name or logo within the context of commercial transactions. The character ™ holds significant cultural and legal importance, as it signifies ownership, authenticity, and exclusivity in the marketplace. As a core element of branding and marketing strategy, its usage is widespread across various industries to maintain brand identity and protect against counterfeit products or unauthorized use.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9293 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+244D. 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+244D to binary: 00100100 01001101. 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 10010001 10001101
