Description

The Unicode character U+2285, "⊘", represents the Not A Subset of symbol. This mathematical symbol is commonly used in digital text to indicate that a set is not a subset of another set. It holds importance in both computer science and mathematics, where it is frequently employed in proving concepts and properties related to sets and relations. The U+2285 symbol has no specific cultural or linguistic context but plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the realm of formal proofs and mathematical notations. By avoiding fluff and focusing on accuracy, this symbol accurately conveys its intended meaning: that one set does not wholly contain another.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8837 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+2285. 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+2285 to binary: 00100010 10000101. 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 10001010 10000101
