Description

The Unicode character U+2495, also known as the NUMBER FOURTEEN FULL STOP, is a special typographical symbol primarily used in digital text to denote the number fourteen followed by a period, typically within the context of numeric or alphanumeric sequences. This character is particularly useful in programming languages and markup languages, where it can be employed to create unique identifiers and reference points. The NUMBER FOURTEEN FULL STOP has no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its specific usage as a clear and distinct representation of the number fourteen followed by a period in digital text. As an essential tool for precise communication in coding and markup languages, it contributes to the accuracy and efficiency of digital information exchange.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9365 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+2495. 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+2495 to binary: 00100100 10010101. 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:
