Description

The Unicode character U+2B73, known as DOWNWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED ARROW TO BAR, is a specialized typographical symbol used in digital text. It primarily serves to indicate the conversion of an equation or expression from its original form to another form involving a horizontal line, often called a "bar" in mathematical notation. This character is crucial in representing specific transformations in mathematics and computer programming, particularly when dealing with binary operations or logical expressions. The DOWNWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED ARROW TO BAR symbol is vital for precise communication in fields such as computer science, engineering, and mathematical research.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11123 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+2B73. 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+2B73 to binary: 00101011 01110011. 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 10101101 10110011
