U+2449 is a Unicode character primarily used for representing an OCR Customer Account Number in digital texts. In the context of typography and Unicode, it is a control character that helps with the automatic recognition and processing of data related to customer accounts. Its typical usage is within systems and applications where customer account management is essential, such as banks, e-commerce platforms, or any organization handling user accounts. As a part of the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) system, U+2449 plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate extraction and processing of relevant information from scanned documents, thus improving efficiency and reducing manual intervention. The character helps maintain data integrity during the conversion process from images to digital text formats, contributing to the overall performance and reliability of OCR applications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9289 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+2449. 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+2449 to binary: 00100100 01001001. 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 10010001 10001001
