Description

The Unicode character U+29A2, known as the Turned Angle, is a mathematical symbol used to represent angles in digital text. It has an arcane appearance, resembling a capital letter "L" with a backward slant. Its typical usage is within mathematical and technical contexts, particularly in fields involving geometry or trigonometry. Although it does not have any specific cultural connotations, its precise representation of an angle makes it indispensable in these disciplines. In the realm of Unicode, U+29A2 serves as a valuable tool for conveying mathematical concepts with accuracy and clarity, ensuring that digital text remains reliable and easily understood by readers familiar with these symbols.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10658 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+29A2. 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+29A2 to binary: 00101001 10100010. 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 10100010
