Description

U+2994, the Right Arc Greater-Than Bracket, is a special character utilized primarily in mathematical notation within digital text. It plays a crucial role in representing complex relationships between variables and expressions. While not as widely used as other symbols like parentheses or brackets, it has its place in certain contexts such as in computer programming languages that require precise syntax and formatting. The Right Arc Greater-Than Bracket is part of the Unicode Standard, a coding system designed to represent characters from all writing systems of the world. It demonstrates the rich diversity and complexity of human language, transcending cultural and linguistic boundaries.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10644 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+2994. 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+2994 to binary: 00101001 10010100. 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 10010100
