U+24D4 is a unique character in the Unicode standard, commonly known as CIRCLED LATIN SMALL LETTER E. It's a typographical representation of the letter 'e' enclosed in a circle, often utilized to emphasize a specific letter within a text or sequence. Its primary usage lies in digital texts where it is incorporated for the purpose of stylistic enhancement or to denote emphasis on a particular character. Although not commonly used in everyday texting or writing, it has found its place in various specialized fields such as technical documentation, coding, and mathematical formulas. It's an important part of the Unicode system, contributing to the diversity and versatility of digital textual communication.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9428 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+24D4. 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+24D4 to binary: 00100100 11010100. 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 10010011 10010100
