Description

U+2475 is a typographical character called "PARENTHESIZED DIGIT TWO." This digit is part of the Unicode block known as "Combining Diacritical Marks for Symbols," which consists of characters that are used in combination with other symbols to create specific glyphs. The primary role of U+2475 is to be combined with numeric symbols, such as digits or subscripts, to create a parenthesized form. This is particularly useful in digital text where the use of mathematical expressions or scientific notation is required. While U+2475 does not have a specific cultural or linguistic context, it can be found in various technical documents, including those related to mathematics, computer programming, and scientific fields. The character is encoded using the Unicode Standard, ensuring compatibility across different software applications and platforms, making it an essential element for accurate and clear communication in digital text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9333 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+2475. 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+2475 to binary: 00100100 01110101. 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:
