Description

The Unicode character U+2A9A, known as the DOUBLE-LINE EQUAL TO OR GREATER-THAN symbol, plays a crucial role in digital text by representing a mathematical comparison operator. This operator signifies that a given value is equal to or greater than another value. It is commonly used in mathematics, computer science, and programming languages to express this inequality relationship. The DOUBLE-LINE EQUAL TO OR GREATER-THAN symbol is part of the Mathematical Operators block in the Unicode Standard, which includes a wide range of symbols essential for expressing mathematical concepts accurately and unambiguously in digital text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10906 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+2A9A. 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+2A9A to binary: 00101010 10011010. 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 10101010 10011010
