Description

The Unicode character U+2AC4, known as the Superset of or Equal to with Dot Above (⊆), is a mathematical symbol commonly used in digital text, particularly within the field of computer science and mathematics. It represents the concept of set inclusion or subset relationship between two sets. This character plays a crucial role in various algorithms and data structures, especially when dealing with binary relationships, such as membership or containment. U+2AC4 is not tied to any specific culture or language, but its usage can be seen in mathematical texts and programming languages worldwide. The dot above the symbol serves as an indicator of a closed or enclosed set, emphasizing that the relationship is fully inclusive. In digital typography, this character contributes to improved readability and clearer communication of complex concepts in mathematical expressions and formulas.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10948 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+2AC4. 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+2AC4 to binary: 00101010 11000100. 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 10101011 10000100
