Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟚ has the Unicode code point U+27DA. 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+27DA to binary:
00100111 11011010. 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 10011111 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+27DA, also known as the Left and Right Double Turnstile (⇅), plays a crucial role in digital text by serving as a symbol for logical equivalence. This means that it is typically used to denote that two values are equivalent under certain conditions or within specific contexts. The double turnstile was first introduced in mathematics, particularly in the field of propositional logic and set theory. It represents the relationship between two sets, showing that they contain the same elements. In addition to its usage in formal mathematical contexts, the Left and Right Double Turnstile has seen increased use in programming languages and software applications as a symbol for equality tests and type-checking operations. Overall, the U+27DA character is an important tool for maintaining clarity and precision in digital text across various disciplines.
