Description

The Unicode character U+2D75 is a typographical symbol known as the "Combining Diagonal Stroke." It serves a specific role in digital text by enabling users to create a diagonal line within words or sentences. This unique characteristic allows for more expressive and dynamic typography, often used in headlines, titles, and other design elements. The Combining Diagonal Stroke is commonly found in visual communication, where it complements the overall aesthetic and enhances readability. It is particularly popular among graphic designers, web developers, and typographers who wish to create more engaging and visually appealing content without deviating from standard text conventions.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11637 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+2D75. 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+2D75 to binary: 00101101 01110101. 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:
    11100010 10110101 10110101
