U+3286, or the Circled Ideograph Seven, is a unique character within the Unicode Standard. Typically used in digital text, this character serves as a mathematical symbol representing the number seven enclosed in a circle. It is predominantly employed in East Asian numeral systems and computational notation. The Circled Ideograph Seven holds cultural significance in various regions, particularly in China and Japan, where it is often utilized to denote the digit 'seven' in different numerical representations. Additionally, the character has linguistic importance in certain languages that utilize circled numbers for mathematical or stylistic purposes. Overall, U+3286 contributes to the rich diversity of digital text by offering an alternative way of representing the number seven, reflecting the versatility and inclusiveness of the Unicode Standard.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12934 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+3286. 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+3286 to binary: 00110010 10000110. 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:
    11100011 10001010 10000110
