Description

U+20FB is a Unicode character with the typographical representation of a curly double prime (‖) or a turnstile (|⁄|). It is primarily used in digital text to represent a logical implication operator, indicating that if the statement before the operator is true, then the statement after the operator must also be true. This character is often employed in formal logic, mathematics, and computer programming, where its precise semantic role makes it an important tool for accurate communication of complex ideas. U+20FB does not have any notable cultural or linguistic context, but its use in various fields emphasizes the importance of clear communication and precise expression, demonstrating that even in digital text, nuance matters.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8443 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+20FB. 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+20FB to binary: 00100000 11111011. 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 10000011 10111011
