Description

The Unicode character U+299E, "ANGLE WITH S INSIDE," is a mathematical symbol used primarily in digital text for representing an angle with the letter 'S' placed inside it. This specialized symbol finds application in fields such as mathematics, computer science, and engineering where precise representation of angles and geometric figures is crucial. While it may not be widely recognized or frequently used across various cultures and languages, its presence in Unicode ensures that it can be utilized globally for clear communication among professionals in these domains. The character's technical context lies in its role as a specific mathematical symbol rather than a general typographical element, and its primary function is to convey the concept of an angle with a distinct feature, offering greater clarity and precision compared to more generic angle symbols.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10654 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+299E. 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+299E to binary: 00101001 10011110. 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 10100110 10011110
