Description

The Unicode character U+22C2 represents the N-ary Intersection (⋂), a mathematical symbol used to denote the intersection of n sets in digital text. Its primary application is within the realm of set theory, where it signifies the common elements shared by multiple sets. This character is vital for precise communication in disciplines like mathematics, computer science, and statistics, as it allows users to express complex relationships among data sets with clarity and accuracy. The N-ary Intersection symbol is often employed in proofs, algorithms, and equations, ensuring that readers can easily discern the intended meaning and manipulations of the text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8898 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+22C2. 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+22C2 to binary: 00100010 11000010. 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 10000010
