Description

The Unicode character U+29A8, known as "MEASURED ANGLE WITH OPEN ARM ENDING IN ARROW POINTING UP AND RIGHT," is a specialized typographical symbol primarily used in mathematical and technical documents to denote a specific angle measurement. Its typical usage involves representing an angle where the open arm of the measured angle ends with an arrow pointing up and to the right. This symbol can be found within mathematical equations, trigonometry, and geometry-related text. It is essential for clear communication in these disciplines as it helps eliminate ambiguity while conveying accurate information about angles and their orientations. The character is part of a broader set of Unicode symbols designed to facilitate precise representation and understanding of complex concepts within digital text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10664 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+29A8. 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+29A8 to binary: 00101001 10101000. 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:
