Description

U+24A4 is the Unicode character code for the Parenthesized Latin Small Letter I, which is a symbol primarily used in digital typography. This character represents an uppercase 'I' enclosed within parenthesis, making it visually distinct from regular uppercase 'I'. Its typical usage is to convey emphasis or differentiation in text. The Parenthesized Latin Small Letter I holds significance in both linguistic and technical contexts, as it enables more precise communication in languages that rely on punctuation and capitalization for meaning. In digital text, the character can be used to create unique symbols for specific applications or stylistic purposes. Despite its infrequent use, it demonstrates the flexibility and versatility of Unicode, which accommodates a wide range of characters and symbols for global communication.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9380 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+24A4. 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+24A4 to binary: 00100100 10100100. 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:
