Description

The Unicode character U+2AEE, known as the "DOES NOT DIVIDE WITH REVERSED NEGATION SLASH", holds a unique position in digital text for its specific application within mathematical and scientific fields. It is not typically used in everyday text or communication but serves a critical purpose in symbolic representations of division operations. In these domains, it is commonly employed to denote the concept that an operation or expression does not divide with a reversed negation slash. This specialized usage underscores the importance of precise and accurate language within technical and mathematical contexts. While its application might be relatively niche, U+2AEE remains a vital character in the extensive Unicode system, demonstrating the power of standardized symbols to foster clarity and precision across diverse fields.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10990 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+2AEE. 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+2AEE to binary: 00101010 11101110. 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 10101011 10101110
