Description

U+24BA, also known as CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E, is a Unicode character that represents the uppercase letter 'E' encircled. This character plays a crucial role in digital text, particularly in typography and design. It is often used to denote a specific category, section, or emphasis within written content. The use of U+24BA can be traced back to its origins in ancient Roman times, where the circled letter was employed to signify importance or priority. In modern usage, it has become a popular choice for various applications such as website design, document formatting, and educational materials. U+24BA is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block (U+2400-U+24FF) in Unicode, ensuring its continued relevance and usefulness within digital text formats and systems.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9402 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+24BA. 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+24BA to binary: 00100100 10111010. 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 10010010 10111010
