Description

U+27E9, the Mathematical Right Angle Bracket, is a crucial symbol in the field of mathematics and computer science, specifically in digital text representation. It primarily serves as an essential component in mathematical expressions, particularly within the realm of computer algebra systems. Its role is pivotal in representing angle-bracket notation for sets and other abstract concepts in computer programming and formal logic. Due to its precise nature and application, U+27E9 does not have a significant cultural or linguistic context. It remains an indispensable element in digital text for its clear representation of mathematical and computational relationships, ensuring clarity and precision in various technical fields.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10217 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+27E9. 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+27E9 to binary: 00100111 11101001. 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 10011111 10101001
