Description

The Unicode character U+2165 represents the Roman numeral "VI" in digital text, with a typical usage for denoting the number six in historical contexts or within typographic designs that incorporate ancient Roman numerals. This character is essential in preserving cultural heritage and enhancing typography, as it allows for accurate representation of classical texts and historical artifacts. U+2165 is part of the Latin Extended-A (Latinext) block, which contains additional characters necessary for the proper representation of the Latin script, including diacritics, ligatures, and various special characters. In digital typography, it provides designers with a versatile tool to incorporate elements of ancient scripts in contemporary designs while maintaining fidelity to the original text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8549 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+2165. 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+2165 to binary: 00100001 01100101. 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 10000101 10100101
