Description

The Unicode character U+2A3D, known as the RIGHTHAND INTERIOR PRODUCT, is a mathematical symbol that represents the interior product of two elements within digital text. It is primarily used in mathematical expressions to denote the operation of computing the inner product or dot product of two vectors or tensors. The character is not widely used outside of specialized mathematical contexts and does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical significance beyond its specific application. However, it remains an essential tool for mathematicians, engineers, and scientists who require precise representation of complex mathematical operations in their digital text communications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10813 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+2A3D. 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+2A3D to binary: 00101010 00111101. 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 10111101
