0x24C8

0x24C8 is a hexadecimal numeric literal that represents the decimal value 9416. In computing, hex literals are commonly used to specify numbers, addresses, or encoded points in a compact form.

In Unicode, the code point U+24C8 corresponds to the character CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S, which is the letter S enclosed within a circle. This character is part of the Enclosed Alphanumerics block, a range used for decorative text, symbols, and markers in user interfaces and data representations. The sequence U+24B6 to U+24CF maps to circled Latin capital letters A through Z, with U+24C8 specifically representing S.

The glyph for U+24C8 appears as the standard uppercase S inside a circle and is rendered by fonts that include the circled letters set. In HTML, it can be represented with a numeric character reference, such as Ⓢ, or by inserting the actual character in environments that support it.

Use cases for this character are typically decorative rather than linguistic. It may appear in logos, badges, bullet-like indicators, or UI elements where a circled letter is preferred over plain text. Accessibility and font coverage considerations apply, since not all fonts or screen readers render or announce circled letters identically.

Related characters in the same block include other circled Latin capitals A–Z (U+24B6 through U+24CF). These symbols share the same general purpose as decorative encodings within digital text.
