Description

U+24D9, also known as CIRCLED LATIN SMALL LETTER J, is a typographic character within the Unicode standard (U+2420 to U+245F). It serves an essential role in digital text by enabling the use of uppercase and lowercase circle-styled Latin letters. The symbol represents a smaller version of the uppercase letter 'J', encased in a circular shape, and is often used for stylistic purposes or to enhance readability in specific contexts such as technical documents, mathematical notation, or computer programming. Although not commonly found in everyday language use, it plays a vital role in various specialized fields like linguistics, typography, and software development. The character is also significant in the realm of digital communication, allowing for customizable, visually appealing representations of text that adhere to specific design requirements.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9433 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+24D9. 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+24D9 to binary: 00100100 11011001. 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 10011001
