0x26E4

0x26E4 refers to the hexadecimal encoding of the Unicode scalar U+26E4. This places the character in the Miscellaneous Symbols block, which spans from U+2600 to U+26FF. The actual glyph shown for U+26E4 depends on the font and rendering system in use, so its appearance can vary across platforms.

In terms of encoding, U+26E4 is a code point within the Basic Multilingual Plane, so it is represented as a single 16-bit value in UTF-16. In UTF-8, it is encoded as a three-byte sequence. The code point is defined by the Unicode Standard and its properties, including its name, are maintained in the Unicode Character Database.

As with many symbols in this range, U+26E4 is used in contexts where a symbolic or pictographic mark is appropriate, such as user interfaces, documentation, or data representations. Because the visual representation depends on font support, some environments may display a different glyph or a placeholder if the font does not include a matching symbol.

References for further information include the official Unicode charts for the Miscellaneous Symbols block and the Unicode Character Database, which provide the authoritative name, properties, and code point mappings. Developers and typographers typically consult these sources when selecting fonts or implementing text rendering that involves Unicode symbols.
