x262E

x262E is a hexadecimal reference to the Unicode code point U+262E. It is part of the Miscellaneous Symbols block, which contains a variety of symbols used in text, notation, and informal graphics. The code point is treated as a single character in Unicode-enabled systems, with rendering determined by the chosen font.

Encoding and representation: In Unicode, U+262E resides in the Basic Multilingual Plane. In UTF-8 it is encoded as a three-byte sequence; in UTF-16 it uses a single 16-bit unit; in UTF-32 it is 0x0000262E. Because it is a symbol rather than a letter, its primary role is graphical rather than alphabetic.

Glyph and rendering: The actual glyph shown for U+262E depends on the font and platform. Some fonts include the symbol, while others may display a different glyph or a placeholder if the font lacks the character. Rendering can vary across operating systems and applications, making consistent appearance dependent on font support.

Usage and context: This code point is typically used to insert a symbol into text, diagrams, or user interfaces. It is not a standard letter of an alphabet and is generally employed for decorative, symbolic, or technical purposes. Its presence in a document does not imply a specific linguistic meaning.

Display and input: To include the symbol in digital text, you can reference the code point directly. In HTML, it can be inserted as ☮. Many programming languages support Unicode escape sequences to represent U+262E as well.
