Description

U+22E7, also known as "Greater-Than But Not Equivalent To," is a symbol from the Unicode character set that plays a significant role in digital text communication. It serves as an operator in mathematical notation, specifically when comparing values within equations or logical expressions. Unlike a traditional greater-than symbol (U+003E), which denotes strict inequality, U+22E7 indicates that two values are not equivalent but may have some overlap. This distinction is particularly crucial in set theory and logic, where it helps to differentiate between disjoint sets or elements with distinct properties. The use of this symbol aids in the precise representation of relationships between complex data, enhancing clarity and reducing the likelihood of misinterpretation in technical documents and mathematical expressions.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8935 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+22E7. 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+22E7 to binary: 00100010 11100111. 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 10100111
