Description

The Unicode character U+32E7 represents the "CIRCLED KATAKANA NE" (ヌ) in digital text. This symbol is a part of the JIS X 0213 standard, which includes katakana characters used in Japanese writing systems. In typical usage, the CIRCLED KATAKANA NE character is utilized to represent the sound "nu" or "neu" in words when using the katakana script, a phonetic alphabet derived from hiragana. Katakana is widely used for foreign loanwords and onomatopoeic expressions in Japanese text. Due to its phonetic nature, it can also be employed as a visual aid for non-Japanese speakers to understand the pronunciation of certain sounds or words. As part of the Unicode standard, U+32E7 ensures global compatibility and interoperability across various digital platforms and applications, supporting accurate communication and information exchange in linguistic contexts that utilize katakana script.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 13031 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+32E7. 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+32E7 to binary: 00110010 11100111. 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 10001011 10100111
