Description

U+3285, known as the "CIRCLED IDEOGRAPH SIX", is a character from the Unicode Standard, which is widely used for digital text encoding. This particular character has a significant role in Chinese typography and numeral systems. It represents the number six when used in written Chinese characters or in the context of mathematical or technical expressions. The Circled IDEOGRAPH SIX provides a clear visual distinction from its counterpart, the simple ideograph for the number six. This character can be found in various digital text platforms and is often utilized in the fields of technology, mathematics, and linguistics to represent numerical values within the Chinese writing system. In summation, U+3285, or CIRCLED IDEOGRAPH SIX, serves as a crucial numeral in digitally encoded Chinese text, contributing to its accuracy and readability.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12933 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+3285. 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+3285 to binary: 00110010 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:
    11100011 10001010 10000101
