Description

U+24E5, or CIRCLED LATIN SMALL LETTER V, is a Unicode character that represents the lowercase letter 'v' enclosed in a circle. It holds a unique position in digital typography due to its visually distinct form and limited usage. Typically used for emphasis or decoration in written content, this character can be found in various applications such as documents, websites, and software interfaces. Despite its rarity, it has been featured in artistic and design contexts where a creative touch is desired. This typographical element holds no specific linguistic or cultural significance but serves more as an aesthetic choice in textual presentation.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9445 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+24E5. 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+24E5 to binary: 00100100 11100101. 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 10100101
