Description

U+2BAC is a typographic symbol in the Unicode character set known as the "Black Curved Leftwards and Upwards Arrow." This symbol plays a vital role in digital text as it helps convey directional information, especially in mathematical formulas, scientific notations, and technical diagrams. Its distinctive design features a curved leftwards direction combined with an upward trajectory, making it useful for representing flows, movements, or changes in various contexts. The U+2BAC symbol is widely used across diverse cultures, languages, and disciplines due to its versatility and clear visual representation of the intended direction. In technical contexts, this character is employed in areas like computer graphics, programming, and data visualization to illustrate the path or course of elements in a system or process.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11180 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+2BAC. 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+2BAC to binary: 00101011 10101100. 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 10101110 10101100
