The Unicode character U+3195 is designated as IDEOGRAPHIC ANNOTATION FOUR MARK. It plays a significant role in digital text processing, primarily serving to indicate annotations or corrections in East Asian typography, where it is typically used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean texts. This character acts as a visual cue for editors and proofreaders, enabling them to easily identify parts of the text that require attention. Its usage is deeply rooted in cultural practices, especially in the context of East Asian linguistic traditions, where annotation marks are essential for maintaining accuracy and clarity during the editorial process. The IDEOGRAPHIC ANNOTATION FOUR MARK contributes to the precision and integrity of written communication within these regions and highlights the importance of typographical conventions in ensuring effective text processing.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12693 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+3195. 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+3195 to binary: 00110001 10010101. 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:
