Description

The Unicode character U+3250, known as the Partnership Sign (⚊), is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text. It represents a partnership between two entities, often in a business or legal context. Although not widely used in everyday language, it holds significance in specialized fields such as intellectual property, contracts, and agreements. This symbol serves as a visual representation of collaboration and shared responsibility between parties. The Partnership Sign is part of the Miscellaneous Symbols block in Unicode, which contains various symbols that do not fall into any specific category. Its usage is generally limited to specific contexts and industries where partnerships are formed or acknowledged, making it a specialized symbol rather than a commonly employed typographic element.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12880 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+3250. 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+3250 to binary: 00110010 01010000. 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 10010000
