Description

U+2A15, the INTEGRAL AROUND A POINT OPERATOR, is a specialized character in Unicode typography that plays a significant role in mathematical and scientific digital text. Its primary function is to denote the integral of a continuous function within a specified region, representing the concept of calculus in digital text format. This operator is crucial for precise communication in fields such as mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science where accurate representation of calculations and functions is essential. Although it may not be commonly used in everyday writing or casual communication, its importance lies in its role as a clear and accurate symbol for integral calculus within specialized digital text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10773 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+2A15. 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+2A15 to binary: 00101010 00010101. 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 10101000 10010101
