Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+1F16A "🅪" Raised Mc Sign is a typographic symbol encoded in the Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement block, designed to visually represent the prefix "Mc" commonly found in Scottish and Irish surnames. It is presented as a white "MC" enclosed within a raised, square-shaped border, intended for use in signage, logos, or decorative text to style names like McDonald or McKenzie. This character serves a niche function in digital typography, offering a precomposed alternative to manually formatting the letters, and it was added to the Unicode Standard in 2012 as part of a set of enclosed alphanumeric symbols for enhanced text representation.
