Description

The Unicode character U+2E6F is a unique symbol that has gained prominence in the realm of typography and digital text. Its typical usage involves representing a specific unit of measurement, particularly in scientific or technical contexts. This character is often employed to denote a microgram (µg), which is a millionth of a gram. Given its significance in expressing precise quantities, U+2E6F plays an essential role in various industries such as medicine, chemistry, and metrology. Furthermore, it aids in maintaining consistency and accuracy within scientific literature and technical documentation. Although U+2E6F does not have any notable cultural or linguistic associations, its usage in digital text highlights the importance of clear communication and standardization across languages and regions. By employing this character, professionals from different fields can effectively convey their measurements and findings without ambiguity. The use of such specialized characters emphasizes the significance of Unicode in facilitating global communication and fostering a comprehensive understanding of diverse concepts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11887 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+2E6F. 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+2E6F to binary: 00101110 01101111. 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 10111001 10101111
