Description

The Unicode character U+222C, also known as the Double Integral symbol, is a mathematical notation commonly used in digital text to represent a definite integral with two limits. Its typical usage is within the realm of calculus, particularly when expressing the concept of an area or a line under a curve between two points. The Double Integral symbol plays a significant role in multivariable calculus and integration problems involving functions of several variables. It is often employed in mathematical equations and formulas across various fields such as physics, engineering, and computer science. Despite not being culturally specific, the Double Integral symbol contributes to the precision and clarity of technical communication, making it an essential tool for professionals and scholars working with advanced mathematics.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8748 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+222C. 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+222C to binary: 00100010 00101100. 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 10001000 10101100
