Description

The Unicode character U+2913, known as the "DOWNWARDS ARROW TO BAR", is a typographical symbol that serves a specific purpose in digital text. It is primarily used in mathematical expressions and logical statements where an arrow pointing downwards with a horizontal line across its stem is required. This character is often employed in computer science, engineering, and mathematics to represent various concepts, including function composition, lambda abstraction, or logical implications. Its use can be found in programming languages, scientific documents, and educational materials that involve complex mathematical or logical operations. The DOWNWARDS ARROW TO BAR symbol is vital in creating clear and precise representations of these abstract ideas, contributing to the effectiveness of communication within these specialized fields.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10515 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+2913. 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+2913 to binary: 00101001 00010011. 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 10010011
