Description

The Unicode character U+2AA7, known as the Greater-Than Closed by Curve symbol, is a typographic glyph that primarily serves a functional role in digital text. It is used to represent a greater-than sign enclosed within a closed loop or curve, which can be employed for mathematical expressions, coding, and other technical applications where visual clarity and distinction are essential. Although this character may not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or historical significance, it does contribute to the overall readability and comprehension of text in specialized contexts that require precision in symbol representation. In summary, U+2AA7 is a useful typographic tool designed for digital communication and is particularly valuable in technical domains where clarity and distinction are vital aspects of accurate information transfer.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10919 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+2AA7. 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+2AA7 to binary: 00101010 10100111. 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 10100111
