Description

The Unicode character U+2E27 is known as the "RIGHT SIDEWAYS U BRACKET." It plays a significant role in digital text formatting, particularly in mathematical expressions and computer programming. Typically used to enclose a variable or a term within a mathematical equation, this symbol helps clarify the relationships between different elements of an expression, making it easier for readers to understand complex calculations. In programming languages, the Right Sideways U Bracket is often employed as part of a function's syntax to separate its parameters from the rest of the code, improving readability and maintainability. Although this character may seem like a minor detail in text formatting, it serves crucial purposes in ensuring accuracy and clarity within mathematical and programming contexts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11815 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+2E27. 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+2E27 to binary: 00101110 00100111. 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 10111000 10100111
