Description

The Unicode character U+2B70, known as the "Leftwards Triangle-Headed Arrow to Bar," is a specialized typographical symbol often utilized in digital text. It plays an essential role in mathematics, computer science, and various other technical fields by representing a leftward-pointing arrow that points towards a horizontal bar. This arrow is particularly used in mathematical notation to denote the concept of "less than or equal to" when paired with other symbols. Additionally, it's employed in programming languages and data structures to signify a specific operation or direct a programmer's attention to a particular element within code. The Leftwards Triangle-Headed Arrow to Bar holds no significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its functional role in these specialized realms.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11120 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+2B70. 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+2B70 to binary: 00101011 01110000. 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 10110000
