Description

The Unicode character U+24AB represents the uppercase Latin letter 'P' enclosed within parentheses. This typographical symbol is commonly used in digital text to denote a specific stylistic variation or variant of the regular capital 'P'. It may be employed in various applications, such as programming languages, mathematical notations, and design elements where distinct visual emphasis is required for certain characters. While this character does not have any direct linguistic or cultural significance, it serves an important role in digital typography by providing designers and developers with a versatile tool to manipulate the appearance of text within their creations.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9387 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+24AB. 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+24AB to binary: 00100100 10101011. 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 10101011
