U+2441 "⑁" Ocr Chair Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⑁
U+2441 "⑁" Ocr Chair is a specialized symbol from the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) block, designed to represent a chair shape used in early machine-readable font standards. This character was part of a set developed for OCR-A, a font engineered to be easily read by both humans and optical scanning devices, particularly in banking and document processing. The chair glyph itself typically depicts a simplified, stylized chair with a seat and backrest, serving as a control or reference mark in text recognition systems rather than representing a literal object. Its use in contemporary text is rare, as it belongs to a legacy encoding scheme, but it remains available in Unicode for historical and interoperability purposes.
