Why 3629 is special

Its key property is that ASCII text is already valid UTF-8, so half the world's existing files needed no conversion at all.

Read as powers of two: 2,048 + 1,024 + 512 + 32 + 8 + 4 + 1 = 3,629.

3 × 1,000 + 6 × 100 + 2 × 10 + 9 × 1 = 3,629. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

Documented appearance
UTF-8 was designed so existing ASCII text was already valid, which is why adoption needed no migration.

Connection
UTF-8 is self-describing where ISO 8859 is not, which is why a UTF-8 file cannot be mistaken for a different language's encoding.

How is 3629 connected to another number? →

Technology & computing

  • RFC 3629 restricts UTF-8 to the range covered by Unicode and forbids overlong forms. Bytes 0 to 127 encode identically to US-ASCII, which is why adoption required no migration of existing plain text.

Common questions

Is 3629 a prime number?

No, 3629 is not prime.

What are the factors of 3629?

The factors of 3629 are 1, 19, 191, 3629.

What is 3629 in Roman numerals?
