U+2E72 is a Unicode character that holds significant importance in digital typography and text representation. This character, known as the "RIGHT HALF RING," belongs to the Miscellaneous Symbols category of the Unicode Standard, which comprises a wide variety of special characters used for various purposes across different languages and applications. The primary role of U+2E72 is to serve as a half-circle on its right side when incorporated into digital text or design elements. This character can be utilized in a range of contexts such as creating custom symbols, diagrams, or illustrations where half-circles are required. Although it does not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical significance, U+2E72 offers versatility and flexibility for designers and typographers to create unique content with diverse visual elements in their work. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures its accessibility and compatibility across various digital platforms and applications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11890 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+2E72. 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+2E72 to binary: 00101110 01110010. 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 10110010
