Description

The Unicode character U+2974, known as the "RIGHTWARDS ARROW ABOVE TILDE OPERATOR," serves a specific role within digital text. It is primarily used in mathematics, computer science, and engineering to denote a rightward arrow with an inverted tilde above it. This character provides additional clarity and precision in various mathematical expressions and algorithms. In linguistic and cultural contexts, the RIGHTWARDS ARROW ABOVE TILDE OPERATOR may not have significant importance, but its use is vital in technical domains for accurate representation and communication of information.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10612 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+2974. 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+2974 to binary: 00101001 01110100. 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 10100101 10110100
