Description

The Unicode character U+227B, known as "SUCCEEDS," is a symbol used predominantly in mathematical and logical expressions within digital text. It represents the mathematical relation that one statement or condition follows from another, suggesting that if the initial conditions are met, the succeeding events will occur. Typically, this character is employed in computer programming, engineering, and scientific documents to illustrate logical sequences and proofs. Despite its limited usage compared to other common symbols, the SUCCEEDS symbol holds a significant position in technical documentation and advanced mathematical fields, ensuring clear communication of complex relationships and conditions.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8827 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+227B. 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+227B to binary: 00100010 01111011. 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 10001001 10111011
