0x23BA

0x23BA refers to the Unicode code point U+23BA, which sits in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. It is a single symbol used in text and diagrams, with its exact appearance determined by the font in use. As with many Unicode symbols, there is no universally standardized glyph beyond the code point, so rendering can vary across platforms and typefaces. The character is typically employed in technical notation, user interface glyphs, or other specialized contexts where compact symbolic markers are needed.

Encoding and representations: In UTF-8, U+23BA encodes as the three-byte sequence E2 8E BA. In UTF-16, it appears as 0x23BA in big-endian order or 0xBA23 in little-endian order. In UTF-32, it is 0x000023BA (big-endian) or 0xBA230000 (little-endian). The common HTML/XML numeric character reference is ⎺.

Naming and usage: The Unicode name for U+23BA is part of the Miscellaneous Symbols set, but it does not have a widely used descriptive name beyond its code point. Consequently, its interpretation is largely dependent on the font and the surrounding context. It is not tied to a specific standard symbol across all applications, which means designers must verify how it renders in their target environment.

Related code points: Nearby symbols in the same range (such as U+23B9 and U+23BB) share the same general-purpose symbol-block placement and are similarly font-dependent. For software development or document preparation, referencing by the code point (⎺) ensures consistent handling across systems.
