Description

U+292B is a Unicode character that represents the RISING DIAGONAL CROSSING FALLING DIAGONAL symbol. This typographical element is primarily used in digital text to visually convey a diagonal crossing of two other diagonal lines, one rising and the other falling. It serves as a useful tool for creating technical illustrations or diagrams, where it helps to depict intersections or crossings of slanted lines. While this symbol may not have significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context in most domains, it can be a valuable addition to various fields such as engineering, architecture, and mathematics. The RISING DIAGONAL CROSSING FALLING DIAGONAL character is an essential component for precise and effective communication of spatial relationships and connections in text formats that support Unicode characters.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10539 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+292B. 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+292B to binary: 00101001 00101011. 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 10101011
