Description

The Unicode character U+22CB, known as the Left Semidirect Product symbol, is a mathematical symbol used to represent the left semidirect product of two groups in digital text. It is primarily used in the fields of group theory, algebra, and mathematics. This character plays a significant role in expressing specific operations within these disciplines, allowing for more precise communication and understanding among mathematicians and researchers. The Left Semidirect Product symbol does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of its mathematical applications. Its usage is focused on accurate representation of the semidirect product operation in group theory, ensuring clarity and precision in mathematical expressions.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8907 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+22CB. 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+22CB to binary: 00100010 11001011. 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 10001011
