Description

The Unicode character U+248A is known as the "DIGIT THREE FULL STOP." This symbol holds a significant role in digital text by representing the number three followed by a full stop. It is part of the Unicode block called "Combining Diacritical Marks for Symbols," which consists of various symbols and glyphs used to modify or combine with other characters to create new, unique symbols. The DIGIT THREE FULL STOP is often employed in contexts where precise representation of numbers is necessary, such as in scientific notations, mathematical equations, or data visualization. Its use can also be found in typography and design applications for creating customized symbols or characters that cannot be formed by standard alphanumeric characters alone. Overall, the DIGIT THREE FULL STOP plays a vital role in digital text representation, serving as an essential tool for those who need to convey specific numerical information with exactitude and clarity.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9354 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+248A. 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+248A to binary: 00100100 10001010. 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 10010010 10001010
