Description

U+22F3, also known as the Element of with Vertical Bar at End of Horizontal Stroke, is a specialized Unicode character used primarily in mathematical notation. In digital text, it typically serves to denote an element within a set or group that requires additional emphasis due to its positioning at the end of a horizontal stroke. This character is not widely used across languages and cultures, as it caters specifically to the needs of mathematical and scientific writing. Its primary purpose is to facilitate clarity and understanding in complex equations and expressions by visually distinguishing elements within a series or sequence. The use of U+22F3 helps readers quickly identify the specific element being discussed, reducing the risk of misinterpretation and fostering more accurate communication in technical fields.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8947 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+22F3. 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+22F3 to binary: 00100010 11110011. 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 10001011 10110011
