Description

The Unicode character U+2988, commonly referred to as Z NOTATION RIGHT IMAGE BRACKET, is a typographical symbol that plays a significant role in digital text. In mathematical expressions and equations, this character is typically used to denote a right image or overline bracket in the context of set theory, complex numbers, and various other mathematical notations. It serves as an important tool for displaying relationships between different elements within a given system or structure. While it does not possess any direct cultural or linguistic significance, its technical application is crucial in maintaining clarity and accuracy within digital text, especially in scientific documents and technical publications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10632 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+2988. 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+2988 to binary: 00101001 10001000. 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 10001000
