Description

The Unicode character U+2485 is known as "PARENTHESIZED NUMBER EIGHTEEN." This symbol plays a vital role in digital text by serving as an enclosed numeral, typically employed in mathematical expressions and equations to denote the number eighteen. It belongs to the Enclosed Number Forms category of characters, which also include U+2480 (PARENTHESIZED NUMBER ZERO) through U+2489 (PARENTHESIZED NUMBER NINE). Although primarily used in technical and mathematical contexts, this character can potentially contribute to improved readability and understanding of numerical information across various digital platforms. In terms of Unicode block, it is part of the Miscellaneous Technical category (U+2400-U+2461), which comprises a range of characters primarily intended for use in technical documents, such as engineering drawings, flowcharts, and programming code.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9349 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+2485. 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+2485 to binary: 00100100 10000101. 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 10000101
