Description

U+2A13 is a Unicode character representing the Line Integration with Semicircular Path Around Pole symbol. In typography, this character is used to denote a line that integrates with a semicircular path around a pole in digital text. The primary usage of this character is in technical drawings and engineering diagrams where it can be employed to indicate how lines wrap or intersect around poles, such as in power grid designs or road infrastructure plans. While U+2A13 may not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or symbolic meaning, its importance lies in its ability to provide clarity and precision in certain technical contexts where standard straight lines might not be sufficient to convey the required information.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10771 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+2A13. 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+2A13 to binary: 00101010 00010011. 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 10010011
