Description

U+3236 is a character in the Unicode standard, specifically designated as "PARENTHESIZED IDEOGRAPH FINANCIAL." This ideographic character is commonly used within digital text, particularly in financial contexts, to represent various financial concepts or terms. While it may appear similar to other parenthesized characters, its distinct role lies in its unique ability to convey specific financial ideas that are not easily expressed using standard alphanumeric symbols. The usage of U+3236 is influenced by both cultural and linguistic nuances related to finance in various regions. By accurately representing these complex financial ideographs, the character contributes significantly to clear communication and understanding within the digital text sphere, particularly when discussing intricate financial topics or transactions.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12854 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+3236. 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+3236 to binary: 00110010 00110110. 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 10001000 10110110
