Description

U+247E Parenthesized Number Eleven is a Unicode character that serves a specific function in digital text. It represents the number 11 within parenthesis, providing a visually distinct representation of the numeral. This character is particularly useful in contexts where clarity and precision are essential, such as in mathematical expressions, coding, or technical documentation. The Parenthesized Number Eleven is an essential tool for avoiding ambiguity and confusion that can arise from using the Arabic numeral 11 itself. It is not tied to any specific culture or language, making it a universally applicable symbol in digital text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9342 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+247E. 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+247E to binary: 00100100 01111110. 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 10010001 10111110
