Description

The Unicode character U+2A94 represents the "Greater-Than Above Slanted Equal Above Less-Than Above Slanted Equal" symbol in digital text. This typographic symbol is commonly used in mathematical notation, particularly in the context of inequalities and comparative relations. The character combines the greater-than (>) and less-than (<) symbols with a slanted equal (=) sign, creating an elegant visual representation of the inequality relation, often used in algebraic expressions. It is mainly utilized within technical documents, engineering fields, and scientific research where precise mathematical notation is required to convey complex ideas and relationships accurately.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10900 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+2A94. 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+2A94 to binary: 00101010 10010100. 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 10010100
