Description

The Unicode character U+2930, known as the RISING DIAGONAL CROSSING SOUTH EAST ARROW, is a directional symbol in digital text that indicates movement towards the southeast. It is part of the Unicode range for Geometric Shapes and Miscellaneous Symbols (U+26F0–U+26FF). In digital typography and graphic design, it can be used to represent navigation or flowcharts in a wide variety of contexts, including computer programming, mathematics, geography, and cartography. Although it is not commonly used in everyday language, the RISING DIAGONAL CROSSING SOUTH EAST ARROW holds significance for those working in fields that require precise directional information or visual depictions of movement and orientation.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10544 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+2930. 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+2930 to binary: 00101001 00110000. 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:
