Description

The Unicode character U+300F, also known as the RIGHT WHITE CORNER BRACKET, plays a significant role in digital text as an essential part of various programming languages and markup formats. It is commonly used to denote the beginning or end of a code block, comments, or other text sections within source codes. The character holds special significance in languages like JavaScript, Perl, and HTML, where it serves to demarcate important syntactical elements. U+300F finds its application in various programming contexts due to its clear distinction from similar symbols such as parentheses or brackets, making code more readable and maintainable. Despite its technical nature, the RIGHT WHITE CORNER BRACKET has no specific cultural, linguistic, or regional significance and is a universal symbol used across different programming languages.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12303 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+300F. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
    Where the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+300F to binary: 00110000 00001111. Those are the payload bits.

  3. Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:

    Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
    11100011 10000000 10001111
