The Unicode character U+26F0 is a typographical symbol representing a mountain. It is often used in digital text to convey themes of nature, adventure, or elevation. In various cultural contexts, mountains hold significant religious, historical, and geographical importance, such as Mt. Sinai in the Old Testament or Mount Fuji in Japanese culture. The character's use in digital typography is primarily for decorative purposes or to add emphasis to text describing physical elevation or terrain. As part of Unicode, U+26F0 is widely compatible with most modern devices and software, making it a versatile tool for conveying mountain imagery across different platforms.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9968 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+26F0. 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+26F0 to binary: 00100110 11110000. 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 10011011 10110000
