Description

U+2481, commonly referred to as the Parenthesized Number Fourteen, is a typographical character that plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within mathematical notation and scientific documentation. This symbol is part of the Unicode standard, which establishes unique code points for every character, symbol, or emblem, allowing digital devices to accurately interpret and display these characters across different languages, systems, and platforms. The Parenthesized Number Fourteen is derived from the Arabic numeral 14, encapsulated within a pair of parentheses, and is primarily used in contexts where it is essential to distinguish the number fourteen from other similar numerals or to emphasize its presence within a text. Its usage is particularly prevalent in fields such as computer programming, where precise numerical values are often required for algorithms and calculations, or in statistical presentations where the representation of data in a clear and easily recognizable manner is critical. The Parenthesized Number Fourteen's unique design helps to improve readability and comprehension of digital text by ensuring that the number fourteen is always clearly distinguished from other numerals, thus contributing to the overall accuracy and effectiveness of written communication across various platforms and languages.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9345 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+2481. 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+2481 to binary: 00100100 10000001. 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 10000001
