Description

U+210B, also known as SCRIPT CAPITAL H, is a typographical character within the Unicode Standard that represents an uppercase, cursive form of the letter "H". This character is often used in digital text for typographic purposes or to create a distinct visual style in design. Its usage can be seen in calligraphy, where it helps replicate the flow and elegance typically associated with handwritten script. SCRIPT CAPITAL H is particularly useful in creating visual contrast within designs or documents, as its cursive form sets it apart from the standard, block-style uppercase "H". It does not have any linguistic or cultural significance on its own but can be used to represent other characters when combined with other Unicode characters through a process called "ligature", where two or more characters are joined together to create a new glyph. In this way, SCRIPT CAPITAL H plays an important role in digital typography and design, contributing to the richness and diversity of text presentation.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8459 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+210B. 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+210B to binary: 00100001 00001011. 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:
    11100010 10000100 10001011
