Description

U+324D is a Unicode character known as CIRCLED NUMBER SIXTY ON BLACK SQUARE. It represents the number sixty within a black square, surrounded by a circle. This character plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in applications that require numerical representation with unique visual flair or when incorporating mathematical symbols and concepts. U+324D is often used in technical documents, such as engineering schematics, scientific research papers, and educational materials, where precise visual representation of numbers is necessary for clarity and accuracy. Its usage can also be found in various typography projects, as well as in the design of unique fonts and typefaces. Despite its potential for aesthetic appeal, U+324D remains a functional character that prioritizes clear communication and understanding over artistic flair.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12877 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+324D. 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+324D to binary: 00110010 01001101. 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 10001001 10001101
