Description

U+24D6 is a typographical character from the Unicode standard, known as the "CIRCLED LATIN SMALL LETTER G." This character is primarily utilized in digital text for its unique appearance, where it represents a lowercase Latin alphabet letter enclosed within a circle. The usage of U+24D6 allows for added emphasis and visual distinction when used within text, often seen in creative typography or design work. In the context of linguistic and cultural representation, this character is more of a visual device rather than a means of conveying specific language or meaning. Its primary use lies within the realm of technical applications, such as software development, web design, and graphic design, where it can be used to enhance the aesthetic appeal or indicate certain elements in code and content.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9430 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+24D6. 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+24D6 to binary: 00100100 11010110. 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 10010110
