Description

The Unicode character U+2E34 is known as the RAISED COMMA, a typographical symbol with a distinct elevation compared to a standard comma (U+002C). It is not widely used in everyday digital text due to its limited functionality and unconventional appearance. However, it serves a specific role within the world of Unicode and typography by providing an alternative representation for commas that can be employed to create visual variety or to convey emphasis in certain contexts. The RAISED COMMA may find utility in specific design applications or specialized text formats where unique or elevated symbols are desired, although its usage is not common and does not carry any inherent linguistic, cultural, or technical significance beyond its distinct form.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11828 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+2E34. 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+2E34 to binary: 00101110 00110100. 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 10111000 10110100
