Description

The Unicode character U+290F, known as the RIGHTWARDS TRIPLE DASH ARROW, is a specialized symbol used in digital text to represent an arrow pointing rightwards with three vertical dashes. This symbol primarily serves in mathematical and technical contexts, often found in diagrams or equations that require clear representation of direction and flow. While it may not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context in isolation, it plays a crucial role in accurately conveying directions and relationships between elements in various fields such as computer science, engineering, and data visualization. By using U+290F, authors can effectively communicate complex ideas and concepts with precision and clarity.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10511 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+290F. 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+290F to binary: 00101001 00001111. 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 10001111
