Description

The Unicode character U+2E25, known as the Bottom Right Half Bracket, is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text to denote a specific type of fraction. In mathematical expressions, it serves as the bottom right half of an open fraction, working together with its counterpart at the top left to create a continuous line fractions or ratios. It has found particular utility in digital typography and mathematical notations, where precise representation of such fractions is essential for clarity and correctness. Although there may not be significant cultural or linguistic context around this character, its technical usage remains vital in the realms of computer science, mathematics, and other fields that require accurate and clear representation of numerical relationships.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11813 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+2E25. 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+2E25 to binary: 00101110 00100101. 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:
