Description

The character U+2352, also known as APL FUNCTIONAL SYMBOL DEL STILE, is a special symbol used primarily in the programming language APL (A Programming Language). This symbol serves as an operator that deletes specific elements of the array being operated upon. In digital text and coding, U+2352 is often used to manipulate arrays and perform mathematical operations. Although it may not be widely recognized outside of specialized programming communities, this character plays a crucial role in APL programming, where arrays are central to computations. It represents an important aspect of functional programming and data manipulation within the context of the APL language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9042 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+2352. 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+2352 to binary: 00100011 01010010. 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 10001101 10010010
