Description

The Unicode character U+2934, known as the "ARROW POINTING RIGHTWARDS THEN CURVING UPWARDS", is a typographical symbol used in digital text to indicate a specific direction or action. It is often employed in technical documentation, diagrams, and maps where precise navigation instructions are required. In programming languages or coding, it can be utilized as a flow control element, guiding the reader or algorithm through various steps of a process. Despite not having a direct linguistic significance, its usage may vary depending on the cultural context, such as in East Asian languages where directional indicators are commonly used in writing systems. The symbol is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block in Unicode and does not have any special technical constraints or requirements for its use or display. Overall, the U+2934 character serves a practical role in facilitating clear communication of directions and processes in digital text across different fields and applications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10548 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+2934. 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+2934 to binary: 00101001 00110100. 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 10100100 10110100
