Description

The Unicode character U+2AD8, commonly referred to as SUPERSET BESIDE AND JOINED BY DASH WITH SUBSET, plays a significant role in digital text by serving as a symbol for set relationships. It is used predominantly in mathematical and logical contexts, where it indicates that the superset is on one side of the dash, and the subset is on the other. This character provides a clear visual representation of these hierarchical relationships between sets in a concise manner, enhancing readability and understanding for users engaged with digital text pertaining to mathematics, computer science, or data analysis.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10968 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+2AD8. 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+2AD8 to binary: 00101010 11011000. 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:
