Description

The Unicode character U+2A1A, known as INTEGRAL WITH UNION, is a symbol primarily used in mathematical notation to represent the integration of two functions that combine into a single entity. This character is frequently employed within digital text to denote the process of integrating one function while simultaneously uniting it with another. It holds particular importance in the fields of mathematics and engineering, where its usage enables clear communication of complex concepts. While the INTEGRAL WITH UNION symbol doesn't have a specific cultural or linguistic context, it serves as an essential tool for expressing relationships between mathematical functions accurately and efficiently.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10778 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+2A1A. 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+2A1A to binary: 00101010 00011010. 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 10011010
