Description

The Unicode character U+24F5, known as the DOUBLE CIRCLED DIGIT ONE, is a typographic symbol commonly used in digital text for representing numeric values in specific contexts. This unique character is part of the Unicode range reserved for "Combining Diacritical Marks for Symbols" and provides an alternative visual representation of the digit one with a double circle surrounding it. Its primary role is to help distinguish numeric values in a text where multiple digits or symbols may be present, enhancing readability and reducing ambiguity. The character does not have any direct cultural, linguistic, or technical context associated with it, but its use can be observed in various technical documents, mathematical equations, or software interfaces that require clear distinction of numerical values.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9461 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+24F5. 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+24F5 to binary: 00100100 11110101. 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 10110101
