0x2620

0x2620 is a hexadecimal notation for a Unicode code point. It corresponds to U+2620, the skull and crossbones character ☠. This symbol is used to convey danger, poison, death, or piracy in various contexts and can appear in text, signage, and digital media.

The character sits in the Miscellaneous Symbols block of Unicode, which ranges from U+2600 to U+26FF. As part of this block, it is intended for general-symbol usage rather than being part of the standard Latin script. The code point is universally accessible in Unicode-compatible systems and fonts that include the Misc Symbols range.

In UTF-8, U+2620 is encoded as the three-byte sequence E2 98 A0. This encoding ensures the symbol can be represented in environments that rely on UTF-8, including web pages, emails, and most modern programming languages.

Usage and rendering vary by platform and font. The symbol is commonly used to indicate poison, danger, or mortality on warning signs and product labels. In digital contexts, it can serve as a simple glyph or be rendered as a monochrome symbol, depending on the font. Some platforms may also provide a color or emoji-style variant for U+2620, depending on their emoji coverage and font design.

In summary, 0x2620 denotes the skull and crossbones symbol, a long-standing Unicode character within the Miscellaneous Symbols block, widely used to convey danger or death across many media.
