Description

The Unicode character U+246E is known as the Circled Number Fifteen, which serves a specific purpose within typography and mathematical equations. In digital text, this symbol is commonly employed in various applications to denote fifteen within a context where visual differentiation from other numbers is required for clarity or emphasis. The Circled Number Fifteen is not tied to any particular culture or language but finds usage in fields such as mathematics, computer science, and engineering, where precise representation of numerical values and their respective quantities are essential. It has no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its practical use in these disciplines. The character contributes to the accuracy and legibility of information within digital text, thereby enhancing communication and reducing potential for misinterpretation.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9326 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+246E. 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+246E to binary: 00100100 01101110. 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:
