Description

The Unicode character U+2283, also known as the "Superset Of" symbol, holds a vital role in digital text, specifically in mathematical notation and set theory. This character is used to indicate that one set contains all elements of another set or a broader concept, serving as a crucial tool for mathematicians, logicians, and computer scientists alike. The usage of U+2283 in these fields enables clear communication of complex relationships between various sets and elements, fostering precision and understanding in the realm of abstract concepts. Despite its technical nature, this symbol has no significant cultural or linguistic context, remaining a purely functional component within digital text for specialized purposes.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8835 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+2283. 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+2283 to binary: 00100010 10000011. 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 10000011
