x26A8

x26A8 is a notation commonly used to refer to the Unicode code point U+26A8, the hexadecimal form of a character in digital text. In many technical contexts, a leading x or 0x is used to emphasize hex notation, and x26A8 appears in discussions of encoding, fonts, or data formats.

Code point and encoding details

The code point U+26A8 resides in the Unicode Miscellaneous Symbols block, which spans U+2600 to U+26FF. The decimal value of U+26A8 is 9896. In UTF-8, U+26A8 is encoded as the three-byte sequence E2 9A A8. In UTF-16, it is represented as 0x26A8.

Usage and representation

The actual glyph for U+26A8 depends on the font and rendering system in use; the same code point can display as different-looking symbols across environments. In markup and programming, the character can be included using various representations, such as the hexadecimal form (U+26A8), the UTF-8 bytes (E2 9A A8), or HTML/XML character references: ⚨ or ⚨.

Context and notes

x26A8 is primarily encountered in technical documents, code, and data schemas that reference Unicode code points in hex form. It does not inherently convey meaning without the surrounding font or application that decides the glyph. Like other Unicode points, its usage is governed by character encoding practices and font support.
