Description

The Unicode character U+2769, known as the Medium Right Parenthesis Ornament, is a typographical symbol that can be found in digital text. This specific character is part of a set of parenthesis ornaments that include the Light (U+2768), Medium (U+2769), and Heavy (U+276A) variations, which are commonly used to add a decorative touch to text or to signify mathematical expressions in various technical contexts. Although its use is not widespread, it can be found in specialized typography and graphic design work, as well as in mathematical notation where the distinction between light, medium, and heavy styles may be significant. The character is not tied to any particular cultural, linguistic, or technical context, but its presence in digital text adds a distinct visual element that can enhance readability or convey a specific aesthetic.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10089 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+2769. 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+2769 to binary: 00100111 01101001. 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:
