Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ➿ has the Unicode code point U+27BF. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+27BF to binary:
00100111 10111111. Those are the payload bits.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 10011110 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+27BF, known as the DOUBLE CURLY LOOP, plays a significant role in digital text by serving as a typographical symbol that visually represents two intertwined curly loops. Although it does not have a widely recognized cultural or linguistic context, its usage can be found primarily in programming languages, text editors, and other digital environments where unique characters are needed for various purposes such as design, code annotations, or decorative elements. This character is part of the Miscellaneous Technical category within Unicode, which contains a diverse range of symbols and glyphs that serve specific technical functions or have specialized meanings in certain contexts. Due to its non-standard nature, the Double Curl Loop may not be supported by all devices or text editors, but when properly displayed, it adds an aesthetically pleasing touch to digital content.
