The Unicode character U+0374, known as the Greek Numeral Sign, plays a significant role in representing numerals within the Greek alphabet. In digital text, it serves as an essential element for expressing numbers in Greek script, which is crucial for accurate translation and communication across various cultures that use this writing system. The Greek Numeral Sign holds great importance in mathematics, linguistics, and historical research, as it enables scholars to study ancient texts, mathematical works, and historical documents accurately. By incorporating the Greek Numeral Sign into digital text, we are better equipped to preserve and understand the rich cultural heritage of Greece and its impact on global history and language development.

How to type the ʹ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0884 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character ʹ has the Unicode code point U+0374. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0080 to 0x07ff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format: 110xxxxx 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+0374 to binary: 00000011 01110100. 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:
