Description

U+2483 is the Unicode code point for Parenthesized Number Sixteen, a typographical character used to represent the numeral sixteen within parentheses. This character is often employed in digital text for mathematical equations, programming languages, and other technical contexts where the distinction between inline numbers and parenthetical elements is crucial. The symbol's unique combination of a numeral (16) and parentheses provides clarity and enhances readability in various applications, from computer science to engineering. Its primary usage lies within digital text, but it may occasionally appear in specialized print materials or software interfaces for users familiar with Unicode symbols.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9347 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+2483. 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+2483 to binary: 00100100 10000011. 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 10000011
