Description

The Unicode character U+2275, known as the "NEITHER GREATER-THAN NOR EQUIVALENT TO" symbol, serves a crucial role in mathematical expressions and logical statements in digital text. This symbol is typically employed to indicate that neither of two compared values is greater than or equivalent to the other. In terms of its cultural, linguistic, or technical context, U+2275 finds its primary application within computer science, engineering, and mathematical notations, particularly when dealing with relational operators in programming languages and logical expressions in formal proofs. As an essential part of the Unicode Standard, this character ensures precise communication of logical relationships in various fields that rely on clear, unambiguous language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8821 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+2275. 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+2275 to binary: 00100010 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 10001001 10110101
