Description

U+29BC 𝌼 is a typographic symbol known as the Circled Anticlockwise-Rotated Division Sign. It serves as a mathematical symbol in digital text for representing division. The character is part of the Unicode standard, which includes characters from multiple scripts and languages to enable global communication. In mathematical contexts, the Circled Anticlockwise-Rotated Division Sign (U+29BC) is used to represent division with a specific orientation. The symbol signifies that the operation is performed in an anticlockwise rotation. This can be particularly useful in situations where the order of operations or directionality plays a significant role, such as in geometry or trigonometry. The character may be used in digital text to convey information about specific mathematical concepts or problems requiring anticlockwise rotation during division operations. Although its usage is quite niche, it serves an essential purpose within the broader scope of mathematics and related fields.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10684 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+29BC. 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+29BC to binary: 00101001 10111100. 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 10111100
