Description

The Unicode character U+32CD, known as the SQUARE ERG, plays a significant role in digital typography. This character is often employed in mathematical and scientific text to denote the unit of angular acceleration or radian per second squared. While its usage may seem limited, it holds vital importance within the context of physics and engineering calculations. The SQUARE ERG symbol has its roots in the International System of Units (SI), where it serves as a crucial component in conveying precise measurements related to angular velocity changes. Its accurate representation ensures clear communication of complex ideas and formulas in these technical fields, contributing to the overall legibility and coherence of digital texts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 13005 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+32CD. 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+32CD to binary: 00110010 11001101. 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 10001101
