Description

U+2BA7, the "RIGHTWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED ARROW WITH LONG TIP DOWNWARDS," is a specialized Unicode character commonly employed in digital text to depict a rightward-facing arrow with a triangular head and a long tip pointing downwards. This unique symbol often finds utility in various contexts such as mathematics, computer science, programming languages, and technical documentation, where it may be used to represent specific operations, data flows, or algorithms. The character's precise application is largely contingent upon the conventions of the field or software system within which it is employed, demonstrating its versatility across different cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11175 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+2BA7. 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+2BA7 to binary: 00101011 10100111. 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 10100111
