Description

The Unicode character U+29DF represents the "DOUBLE-ENDED MULTIMAP" in digital text. This typographical symbol is rarely used in everyday communication but holds significance in certain niche domains, particularly those dealing with computer science, programming, and data visualization. It is utilized to denote a structure that maps elements bi-directionally between two sets, which means it can be employed for the representation of complex relationships or connections within datasets. Despite its specialized use, the DOUBLE-ENDED MULTIMAP character does not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context tied to it. It is a purely abstract symbol that serves as an essential tool in various fields such as graph theory and computer science for mapping, modeling, and analyzing relationships between data elements efficiently. In summary, the U+29DF DOUBLE-ENDED MULTIMAP character plays a crucial role in the digital realm by visually representing bi-directional mappings within complex data structures, enhancing comprehension and facilitating data manipulation.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10719 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+29DF. 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+29DF to binary: 00101001 11011111. 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 10100111 10011111
